Bones (YA Fantasy/Horror)

Set in an alternative version of 1800s London, it’s a story about personhood, bodily autonomy, and academic cannibals. Drawing on the real life Victorian and Renaissance belief that consuming mummies would cure diseases, Bones creates a world where Historians control access to Necromancy- the ability to use the dead to heal the living and extend lives into near-immortality. This has led to even more social stratification, with the rich living forever by exploiting the poor. We follow Uan Bones, a loyal Museum employee with a mysterious past, and Maricar, the desperate illegitimate daughter of the world's foremost Historian, as they try to untangle their lives from what they believe they owe their toxic father figure.
