Synopsis

USA Today bestseller and Bram Stoker Award nominee Johanna van Veen unveils a sapphic folk horror tour de force―perfect for fans of The VVitch and The Salt Grows Heavy. A skull’s grin is eternal…

The year is 1635.

Sister Ursula, a young nun fleeing the ruins of her convent, and Elsebeth, a sharp-witted peasant, escape a band of marauding soldiers and disappear into the Bavarian forest. War scorches the land, and no one survives it alone. Amid the devastation, they find something in the arms of a dying man: the gilded skull of a saint.

It is said that if you reunite the saint’s skull with her body, a wish will be granted. Desperate for salvation, and each with secret desires of their own, Ursula and Elsebeth follow a ragged map across the blighted countryside. But darkness follows them. A necromancer, drawn to the relic’s power. The saint herself, whispering at night. And as the lines between blessing and curse blur, the women must face a harrowing truth: the magic they seek comes at a cost.

At the journey’s end, they’ll face an impossible choice―one that could tear apart everything they know…or bind them to each other forever.

As beautiful and tender as it is dark and terrifying, Bone of My Bone showcases one of queer horror’s most exciting writers in her most chilling tale yet.
