The author of the girl from the well and the suffering is back with a brand new tale of dark and engrossing witches, resurrection and curses.
Despite uncanny resemblances to Japanese revenants, Rin Chupeco has always maintained their sense of humor. Raised in Manila, Philippines, they keep four pets: a dog, two birds, and a husband. They've been a technical writer and a travel blogger but now make things up for a living. They are the author of The Girl from the Well, The Suffering, The Bone Witch trilogy, and the A Hundred Names for Magic trilogy. Connect with Rin at rinchupeco.com.

Review
"Rin Chupeco already captivated and horrified us with The Girl from
the Well, but she may have outdone herself on this one. The Bone
Witch is the first in a new series about a young witch who realizes
she has the dark gift of necromancy after she accidentally raises
her brother from the dead. Now, an older bone witch has taken Tea
under her wing to teach her the art. The story has been pitched as
high fantasy meets Memoirs of a Geisha, so yes, you need your hands
on it now." -- Bustle.com
"The Bone Witch is a fantasy lover's fantasy, with a rich history
and hierarchy of its own. The secrets and workings of its magic are
revealed slowly in a suspenseful novel that is sure to appeal to
those with a love of serious, dark fairytales." -- Foreword
Reviews
"The Bone Witch is fantasy world-building at its best, and Rin
Chupeco (The Girl from the Well; The Suffering) has created a
strong and colorful cast of characters to inhabit that realm. " --
