Bone of My Bone by Johanna Van Veen ~ a Review

by MK French

In 1635 Bavaria, Sister Ursula and a peasant named Elsebeth escape soldiers and war by fleeing into the forest. They find the gilded skull of a saint with a dying man, and know that reuniting it with its body can grant a wish. Ursula and Elsebeth search the countryside, but they're not the only ones. A necromancer is drawn to the relic's power, and the saint herself is 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.
