''AWESOME. MASTERFULLY EXECUTED. FREQUENTLY HILARIOUS'' Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld on The Bone Raiders Following The Bone Raiders comes the next thrilling new novel set in the world of the Rakada: an edge-of-your-seat, actionPpacked epic fantasy series, where a wild band known as the Bone Raiders harness the power of gigantic, fire-breathing lizards to defend their homeland. All Sayana wanted was to enjoy her life in the rolling grasslands of the Tapestry. After she and her fellow Rakada managed to ride humongous fire-breathing lizards to face down the Great Khan''s army, they should have been able to kick back a little for once. Not too much to ask, right? Instead, the Tapestry is in turmoil - invading armies threaten, the other raider clans are at war, and inside his fortress city of Karkorum, the Khan broods and plots. What''s more, the Rakada''s giant lizards are getting sick, and they have no idea how to cure them. If they die, there''s no telling what might happen to the Tapestry. But then the Rakada receive a vision - apparently from the gods. A deep emerald pool surrounded by bone-white sands - one that may be able to heal their lizards. With no other option, the raiders set out on an epic quest across the mountains and into the desert. But the danger that awaits them will be one greater than they''ve ever faced before. These guys really can''t catch a break. Praise for the Rakada novels: '' A ton of fun. The premise is awesome, the found-family dynamic is masterfully executed, the dialogue is wicked-sharp and frequently hilarious '' Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld ''Ford begins this new series with quirky characters, loads of great action sequences, and his trademark brand of humour '' Booklist '' The Bone Raiders is a relentlessly cheeky, ofttimes unserious, and undisputedly rip-roaring bit of fantasy that can only be written by Jackson Ford. Badass female protagonists, found family, and giant lizards - what more do you need? Add this one to your TBR. I fully guarantee you''ll be entertained'' FanFiAddict ...
