About this ebook

I barely remember a time before the EMP. Before magic started to creep into the world and make the lack of technology harder for mortals to live in. I just know my mother did everything a woman could do to protect me from the roving bandits that had turned to murder and worse to survive. It worked for a while, but girls grow to women, and I told myself I would never do the things she had to do to save my life. I’d rather die first.


Then came the night that changed it all. When bandits came that night, they took everything, including my mother’s life. I’ll remember each of their faces, right down to the silent, thickly muscled brute who stole the last of our food and swept away out into the night, leaving us to the mercy of his comrades.


I ran too. And I learned to survive. I learned to fight. And I swore I’d find vengeance on each of them. Three of them fell beneath my sword before I found the Ruby Skulls. The leader was rumored to be a silent, brooding man who exacted merciless justice with a magical blade to those who opposed the law. Hunter, they called him. Ruthless and powerful. The sort of boss who doesn’t take lightly to a rogue in his outfit meting out her own vengeful justice.


Now he’s coming for me. And while I’m prepared to die for my sins, I’m not going to do so until I take down the last of the bastards with me.


What I’m not prepared for is finding out who Hunter really is.


In the vein of stories by XXX and XXX, Dawn of Blood and Bone is the first book in a rich, darkly themed post-apocalyptic duology with a sometimes steamy slow burn romance and lots of wounded warriors.
