Epic, gritty, and unlike anything you know from classic fantasy: British author RJ Barker unleashes an extraordinary saga with the Tide Child Trilogy, often described as a blend of "Game of Thrones" and "Master & Commander" – yet forging its own unique path. In this high-quality value pack, you get all three volumes of the Bone Ship series at once – perfect for anyone who wants to dive into a dense, dark, and maritime fantasy world.
At its heart are the Hundred Isles, whose inhabitants have waged war for generations – on ships built from the bones of long-extinct dragons. But when a living dragon is suddenly sighted again, everything changes. Old power dynamics begin to crumble, intrigues gain momentum, and a ruthless hunt begins: whoever controls the dragon decides war and peace.
Over the course of the trilogy, the situation dramatically escalates. The return of the dragons brings not only hope but, above all, destruction. Conspiracies, moral choices, and personal destinies intertwine into a gripping story centered around characters like Joron Twiner and the shipwife Meas. Between battles on the open sea, dark magic, disease, prophecies, and the constant struggle for survival, a world unfolds that will not let you go.
An intense fantasy series full of sea battles, intrigue, dragons, dark atmosphere, and complex characters – perfect for anyone looking for epic stories with depth and willing to embrace something truly new.
