Join us for an evening with fantasy icon, Samantha Shannon, to celebrate the epic and heart-breaking penultimate novel of The Bone Season series: The Moth Reborn.
Shannon is the New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of the Bone Season series. Her work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. Her fourth novel, The Priory of the Orange Tree, was her first outside of the Bone Season series and was an international bestseller.
The world has been plunged into chaos. Beyond the Republic of Scion, humans now know that gods walk among them.
After months abroad, Paige Mahoney is ready to reunite with Arcturus and finish the fight they started together. Before returning to Scion, they accept an invitation from the Ranthen, who are choosing their new leader in Iceland - only for the night to end in violence.
Forced to go on the run through the unforgiving Alps, the labyrinths of Lyon and beyond, Paige must now solve the mystery of her own existence - and the origins of clairvoyance - to save the revolution. Alliances will be tested, hearts will be shattered, and ancient truths will be unearthed.
Sweeping, suspenseful and emotionally charged, the sixth instalment Bone Season novel cements Samantha Shannon as a master of epic storytelling as the series hurtles towards a breath-taking finale.
