Publisher Description
Winner of the Bram Stoker Award: Tom can see ghosts—and that's the least of his gifts. Now he must harness his newfound magic to save Chapel Hollow.
A drifter trying to hide his extraordinary powers—and find a place where he belongs—Tom Renfield has recently settled in the small Oregon town of Arcadia. But when Laura Bolte gets into his cab, he's plunged deep into a world of magic he didn't even know existed.
The pair is thrown together by supernatural forces, and Tom learns that Laura is the gifted daughter of an ancient family who lives in the nearby enclave of Chapel Hollow. But the mysterious clan has dark—and dangerous—secrets.
If Tom is to have any hope of finding the kinship he's been looking for, he and Laura must find a way to protect the home of her ancestors and the innocent citizens of Arcadia.
The debut of a Philip K. Dick Award nominee who has been called "this generation's Ray Bradbury," The Thread That Binds the Bones is an extraordinary fantasy novel by the author of A Fistful of Sky and The Silent Strength of Stones (TheSunday Oregonian).
The Thread That Binds the Bones is the 1st book in the Chapel Hollow Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. This ebook includes the bonus stories "Lost Lives" and "Caretaking."
Customer Reviews
The Thread that Binds the Bones
This was a interesting story. Based around a group of people with old ‘magical’ abilities but not as you’d usually expect.
Their skills lead to an odd arrangement between their ‘family’ lifestyle and those of the nearby town.
Into this arrangement a newcomer arrives, turning their worlds upside down.
A new vision of magic, with interesting characters, a very good book 4/5.
