A brilliantly imagined saga of honour, glory and warfare, Call of the Bone Ships is the captivating epic fantasy sequel to R J. Barker's The Bone Ships.

Dragons have returned to the Hundred Isles. But their return heralds only war and destruction. When a horde of dying slaves are discovered in the bowels of a ship, Shipwife Meas and the crew of the Tide Child find themselves drawn into a vicious plot that will leave them questioning their loyalties and fighting for their lives.

Fantastic

Brilliant; beautifully horrifying world building with texture and depth, supported by gorgeous voice acting. Eee, I cannot wait for the next one, nor recommend this series more highly

Outstanding is not a good enough word

Absolutely fantastic storytelling!

RJ Barker knows how to tell a tale and tell it well. You cannot help but root for, and like,Twiner, or follow Shipwife Meas to the ends of the earth if she ordered it, His style is easy and the pacing is nigh on perfect.

Jude Owusu‘s narration is perfect!

An amazing range of voices, an understanding of what he is narrating and an out and out joy to listen to.

Book 3 here we come.
