The bones of the dead hold stories.

A romantic illustration of a man and woman standing close together, holding hands in a field of flowers with mountains and a pastel sky in the background, inspired by the book cover titled 'Hills of Heather & Bone' by K.E. Andrews.

On the fringes of Errigal, Morana longs to exchange a life of hiding for a peaceful one with her husband, Percy. While Percy's bloodgift lets him grow plants and heal broken bodies, Morana's a boneweaver, despised and feared because she can hear bones and raise the dead. Morana doesn't want to be seen as a villain from the old stories and instead spends her time gardening, writing the stories of the dead, and fending off a spiteful chicken.

Morana and Percy's lives are shattered when a group of Failinis tasked with capturing boneweavers and rogue bloodgifted find them. On the run and battling the elements, ancient creatures, and the loss of all they called home, Morana and Percy search for any sanctuary left in Errigal. Morana must choose between the call in her blood or the family she holds so close to her heart if she and Percy are to survive.

Reviews

Sara Omer, author of The Gryphon King

“K. E. Andrews mixes dark fantasy and romance with a heaping tablespoon of necromancy and tops it all with a thorough dusting of coziness.”

Hope, Goodreads User

“I'm not usually one for romance books, especially ones where the romance is already established and don't get that initial excitement and build up, but this worked so well. The romance was so wholesome and it felt real which I think is a rarity.”

Esmay Rosalyne, bookstagram reviewer

“As always, the author did not disappoint with her worldbuilding, creative magic system, humour (who doesn't like a feisty chicken following their heroes around?!), depth (yay for books that deal with mental illness in a healthy way) and prose that paint an immediate picture in your mind.”
