Summary

A deadly contest. A vaulting ambition. How far will one cyren go to win?

Mighty cyrens have ruled the ancient lair of Saddoriel for centuries; a cavernous fortress and a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and levels all powered by magic and music. 

From the moment she was born, Roh, the daughter of an infamous criminal, has been despised by her own kind. Restricted to the Lower Sector and forced to work as a common bone cleaner, she has always believed she belongs above: where lies adventure...and power. Opportunity arises in the form of the Queen’s Tournament, a treacherous set of trials that could see the victor crowned ruler of the entire lair. Up against the most cunning, dangerous cyrens in all the realms, does Roh stand a chance? 

A Lair of Bones is the first gripping book in the dark fantasy quartet Curse of the Cyren Queen.

Includes A Song in the Deep, a Curse of the Cyren Queen novella.

A great book to listen too

This story had me hooked! Amazing world building and interesting characters.
I wasn’t too sure about this book due to only having a few reviews. I’m glad I gave it a chance! I have actually just bought the rest in this series.

Give this one a go - you won’t regret it!

Detailed, Expansive World Building

I enjoyed the brilliant world building in this dark fantasy, from the subterranean landscapes to the histories. Interesting side characters add to the scope of the story. The narration was clear and animated but not distracting. You can't help but want to see our heroine, Roh succeed in the tournament in which she participates. It would have been nice to get out of her head a bit more but that could also come down to my preference for a little distance between myself and the pov character.
