The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon (Paperback)

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon is the first book in a gripping dystopian fantasy series set in the year 2059. In Scion London, clairvoyance is considered a crime, and those born with supernatural abilities are hunted by the government.

Nineteen-year-old Paige Mahoney lives within the city’s criminal underworld, working for Jaxon Hall at the secretive base in Seven Dials. Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare type of clairvoyant who can enter people’s minds and gather information. In a society where simply being clairvoyant is considered treason, Paige’s abilities make her both valuable and dangerously vulnerable.

Her life changes when she is captured, drugged, and taken to Oxford—a city hidden from the world for two centuries. There, she discovers it is ruled by the Rephaim, a powerful and mysterious otherworldly race. The clairvoyants brought to Oxford are not prisoners alone; they are resources in a brutal system designed to control and exploit their powers.

Paige is placed under the authority of Warden, a Rephaite who becomes her trainer and keeper. Though he is meant to be her enemy, their uneasy alliance becomes vital to her survival.

Determined to escape and reclaim her freedom, Paige must learn to navigate this dangerous new world where power, loyalty, and survival are constantly tested.
