The Dawn Chorus

Bloomsbury presents The Dawn Chorus by Samantha Shannon, a novella in the internationally bestselling Bone Season series, which bridges the story between The Song Rising and The Mask Falling, read by Alana Kerr Collins.



Paige Mahoney and Arcturus Mesarthim have arrived in the Scion Citadel of Paris. Exhausted by her efforts against Scion, Paige has no choice but to remain in hiding, away from the revolution she started, so she can heal and come to terms with her mental and physical scars.



In the confines of a safe house, Arcturus and Paige begin to reconnect after following separate paths for weeks. As they wait for contact from the mysterious Domino Programme – an espionage network operating in Scion – their present begins to mirror their past.
