From Little Stack
Technically, The Bone Raiders is a band of sisters, but it’s absolutely worth including here. From the beginning, we see that even though the Mongol horde-inspired Rakada clan ride together, each is on their own separate journey to finding who they are and how they fit into a world that wants them dead. Indeed, they even end up separating in the book (side quest!). But it’s all intended to bring them back together for that epic climax when they stand shoulder to shoulder and truly become the found family I knew all along they had the potential to be. Plus, FIRE LIZARDS.
The start of an edge-of-your-seat, action‑packed epic fantasy series from the irreverent Jackson Ford, where a wild band known as the Bone Raiders harness the power of gigantic, fire-breathing lizards to defend their homeland.
We didn't start the fire . . . but our giant fire-breathing lizards did.
You don't f*ck with the Rakada. The people living in the grasslands of the Tapestry call them the Bone Raiders, from their charming habit of displaying the bones of those they kill on their armour. But being a raider is tough these days. There's a new Great Khan in the Tapestry. He plans to use his sizeable military to get rid of the raider clans. And then there are the huge fire-breathing lizards that are straying into the grasslands a little too often these days.
Sayana is a raider scout. She knows that to protect their way of life, she needs do something drastic. Like convincing her clan to ride those huge lizards, instead of horses. Sayana doesn't know how to do it without being eaten and/or cooked alive, but she'd better figure it out fast - or she and her clan, along with every other raider in the Tapestry, will be wiped out.
