From the New York Times bestseller, Harper L. Woods comes a brand new, highly anticipated novel in her Of Flesh & Bone series, What Sleeps Within the Cove.

Once, I bartered my soul for my mate.

Offering Mab my bound allegiance was the only way to save Caldris’s life―the only bargain I could make to keep us both from the Void. After cruelly murdering the King of Summer, her own brother, Mab became unhinged and there was no telling what she would do. Caldris is safe for now because of my sacrifice, but at a cost. Queen Mab only wants one thing from me.

Then, I was banished to Tartarus, from where few ever return.

Mab has demanded a tribute―a snake from the crown of Medusa. Navigating through the horrors of Tartarus, I must pass the Trials of the Five Rivers to prove my worth to the primordials and steal the unthinkable. All without my magic.

Now, I must embrace my darkness, my past.

To survive, I must discover who I am―who I’m fated to be. Human, and Fae, and something… other. Embracing all the sides of magic, light and dark, is the only way to escape Tartarus and get back to Caldris. I will save him, the Fae, and the humans from Mab.

Even if it kills me.

At the heart of Of Flesh & Bone is a world on the brink of collapse, where a dangerous magic threatens to consume everything in its path. The characters who navigate this treacherous landscape are no strangers to pain and sacrifice. Whether it's a powerful ruler bound by secrets, a reluctant hero caught between loyalty and love, or a dark force determined to rise, every character's journey is fraught with tension, mystery, and emotional depth.

The world-building is both vast and intimate, blending brutal battles with tender, often dangerous, relationships. Magic is no mere tool here—it's a living, breathing force, one that twists and turns, leaving scars on both body and soul. Every choice ripples outward, pushing characters to the edge of their humanity. And in a world where flesh and bone are often the least valuable commodities, survival isn't guaranteed.

Through this series, Woods explores themes of trust, betrayal, and redemption, all set against a backdrop of high-stakes fantasy that grips the reader's heart from the very first page.
