A wholly compelling dark tale of mystery and intrigue with some
terrifically witty turns of phrase as orphan Pin Carpule meets the Bone

magic and its powers. The more Pin discovers, the more scared he

you try The Black Book Of Secrets by the same author, which is equally gripping and cleverly drawn.

Then Pin encounters the Bone Magician, a man who can raise corpses and make the dead speak. As Pin pieces together the secrets of Bone Magic, his own life becomes fraught with grave danger...
