“**'Terrific!** A successful blend of genres ...” Nate Kenyon, bestselling author of The Reach, Prime, Bloodstone, and The Bone Factory.
“**'24 Bones' is a winning debut.** It's well-written and well-plotted, studded with drama, action, history and mythology.” SF Crowsnest.
Every five hundred years the phoenix dies.
Samiya, born-into-shadow, is soon to battle her born-into-light brother. Abandoned by their parents, neither wishes to play the preordained role of beast and hero. When their loved ones are taken hostage, they are forced to follow the path laid out in myth, culminating in a battle first fought six thousand years ago in ancient Cairo. A mythic clash where one defeats the other and both become gods.
To break free from their fates, Samiya and her brother must unravel a mystery twisted by cults, greed, and magic. But myth is a powerful force and failure to live up to it may not only destroy their lives but the lives of the ones they love most.
24 Bones is for anyone who likes their thrillers mixed with mythology and a healthy dose of the fantastic.

### Review
"Terrific! A successful blend of genres, complex and fascinating characters, and loads of suspense make 24 Bones a must-read." --Nate Kenyon, author of *Prime* and *The Bone Factory.* "...well-written and well-plotted, studded with drama, action, history and mythology. There’s even a little romance. The conclusion is thrilling..." --Kelly Jensen, SF Crowsnest "Full on, thoroughly engaging, not preachy, action-packed fun. Treachery abounds and honestly, I loved every minute of it. I think its best when the lines are blurred. When you're not quite sure whose side you are or should be on."--Soliel Noir
