Phalue, daugther to the governor of one of the islands. Lin, the daughter to the emperor who has lost her memory. There is Jovis, a thief who has lost his wife. We follow a few different characters from different sides of life. One can imagine this tickles the rebellion to act out, next to the bad ruling the emperor seems to be doing. The downside? The bone shards are taken from young children and when in use drains life from them.
These bone shard power animal like constructs that help him rule. The emperor and his family have mastered bone shard magic.
For the most part this book lived up to it. The Bone Shard Daughter is one of those books that I heard a lot of buzz about before I picked it up. Yet such power carries a great cost, and when the revolution reaches the gates of the palace, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her birthright – and save her people. When her father refuses to recognise her as heir to the throne, she vows to prove her worth by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic. Lin is the emperor’s daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire’s many islands. The emperor’s reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order.
