THE BRILLIANTLY IMAGINATIVE NEW NOVEL FROM VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED AUTHOR, FRANCES WHITE.

How far will you go to open The Bone Door?
When Hop awakens in an ancient labyrinth, he has no memory of his life, or how he got here.
He does not recognise the mysterious girl trapped with him.

And he certainly cannot identify the shadowy figure stalking him, whispering terrible things . . .

But there is one thing he is certain of.

He must escape.

The only way out of the labyrinth is through The Bone Door. But it lies behind a series of locked doors hidden across an array of strange realms. To open the way, Hop must complete impossible tasks before his time runs out.

As Hop travels deeper into the maze, he discovers that he and his companions may be more connected to the place and its horrors than he could ever imagine.

Unless Hop is able to unravel the true mystery of the labyrinth, and his own role within it, the Bone Door and any hope of escape will be lost forever.

‘Darkly delightful and endlessly imaginative. Frances White is at the top of her game yet again with this deft and twisty tale’ - Jules Arbeaux, Author of Lord of the Empty Isle

‘In an achingly heartwarming story that is equal parts hilarious and horrifying, White delivers unforgettable characters and a wildly imaginative plot’ - Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins On Their Bones

‘The Bone Door is a unique, emotional read that tackles trauma, empathy, human cruelty, and grief, but that also makes you laugh and appreciate the beauty of love and of being alive. Don’t miss it!' - Emma Sterner-Radley, author of Snowblooded

Critics Review

The Bone Door is epic, ambitious, and outrageously creative, with all the loveable characters, layered worldbuilding and vivid imagery that make White such a force to be reckoned with. There is darkness and brutality in this world, but also lightness, humour, and heart-warming friendships. With its wonderful found-family cast of misfits that you can’t help but root for, this book is the perfect balance of magic, mythology, and mystery
Keshe Chow, Sunday Times Bestselling Author of The Girl With No Reflection
Darkly delightful and endlessly imaginative, The Bone Door features an instantly lovable cast of amnesic oddballs trapped into a labyrinthine world. Frances White is at the top of her game yet again with this deft and twisty tale
Jules Arbeaux, Author of Lord of the Empty Isles
In an achingly heartwarming story that is equal parts hilarious and horrifying, White delivers unforgettable characters and a wildly imaginative plot that asks readers to consider what it means to continue to hope, even in the face of unfathomable odds
Laura R. Samotin, author of The Sins On Their Bones
The Bone Door is a unique, emotional read that tackles trauma, empathy, human cruelty, and grief, but that also makes you laugh and appreciate the beauty of love and of being alive. Don’t miss it!
Emma Sterner-Radley, author of Snowblooded
The Bone Door is a story that asks profound questions about the nature of evil, the possibility of redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit. The human heart is a labyrinth—not unlike the one her characters navigate—containing both wonders and horrors at every turn, and in this bold new novel, Frances White is not afraid to open every door of the human experience.
Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters
Ambitious and wildly original. The Bone Door is like nothing you've ever read before. Piranesi meets Gideon the Ninth by way of Dan Da Dan, the book evokes the full gamut of emotions from humour to horror, lingering in your bones well after the final door closes.
Eliza Chan, Bestselling author of Fathomfolk
Wildly imaginative and twisty, The Bone Door is gloriously funny and full of heart in the face of unflinching terrors, reminding us why hope matters even when it feels as though all is lost. Utterly unputdownable.
Susan J. Morris author of Strange Beasts and Wayward Souls
The Bone Door is a triumph! A twisty, brutal fairy tale that both moved and amazed me. I couldn’t put it down!
Gareth Brown, Bestselling author of The Book of Doors
The Bone Door is a maze of a book, inhabited by brilliant characters and monsters made of fears and memories. Wonderfully unique, dark and unexpected, this story is a feat of imagination with a powerful message at its core: no matter how much trauma and cruelty one endures, hope is never lost. I was fascinated and utterly gripped by Frances’ storytelling.
Costanza Casati, bestselling author of Clytemnestra
Frances White is a masterful storyteller. The Bone Door is a feat of impressive imagination: brutal and beautiful, the very best and worst elements of humanity captured on the page, with a host of characters that will burrow into your heart. I laughed and wept in equal measure, this is a story unlike any other.
A. S. Webb, Sunday Times bestselling author of Daughter of Chaos
