"Excellent. One of the most interesting and original fantasy worlds I've seen in years." —Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author
A brilliantly imagined saga of honor, glory, and warfare, The Bone Ships is the epic launch of a new series from British Fantasy Award winner, RJ Barker.
*British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel, winner
Two nations at war. One prize beyond compare.
For generations, the Hundred Isles have built their ships from the bones of ancient dragons to fight an endless war. The dragons disappeared, but the battles for supremacy persisted.
Now, the first dragon in centuries has been spotted in far-off waters, and both sides see a chance to shift the balance of power in their favor. Because whoever catches it will win not only glory but the war.
Praise for The Bone Ships:
"Brilliant." —Robin Hobb
"A vividly realized high-seas epic that pulls you deep into its world and keeps you tangled there until the very last word." —Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons

Customer Reviews
Very good, could’ve been great
An awesome story, the action is gripping and the world is so intriguing that you want to learn more and more. Only complain is that a lot of the character except Lucky Meas, Joron, and a few others are very forgettable. More engaging side characters could’ve put this over the top as one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time
The Bone Ships
Couldn’t finish it? I couldn’t put it down!
I could see it, feel it, smell it, hear it and taste it. Can’t wait for the next installment.
Delightful
Original and powerful world-building
