House of War and Bone

Gilded City #2 / 3 ✓
by Leia Stone
House of War and Bone (Gilded City #2) by Leia Stone
Unrated

From USA Today bestselling author Leia Stone comes the next book in the addictive Gilded City series, about a girl who must battle curses, dark powers, and her own heart. This world of dazzling fae magic and romantic pining is perfect for fans of Wednesday and Holly Black.

The only guy in the world who could kiss me was about to be taken out by some Nightling with a vendetta against his family.

Fallon Bane thought that being cursed to feel pain every time she was touched was the worst thing that would ever happen to her.

She was wrong.

The worst thing was finding and falling for Ariyon―the only person in the realm who can touch her―only to accidentally trap him in the land of souls and swap powers with him.

Now she must act as Maven healer to Queen Solana while trying to figure out how to sneak into the Realm of Eternity to save Ariyon.

She drove me crazy, in both good and bad ways, and all I wanted to do was finally kiss her, hold her, feel her body relax into mine like it'd found its missing other half.

Aryion Madden had enough to deal with: heir to the throne, Maven healing powers that meant he would die young, and orphaned by Marissa Bane. Then, he met Marissa's daughter and fell in love, upending everything he thought he knew.

Now, he has to fight for his life―and maybe his afterlife―against the undead using Fallon's dark magic.

And if that's not enough to worry about, all the while, the prophesied Nightling war is approaching.

Leia Stone

Leia Stone is a bestselling author whose works transport readers into worlds filled with supernatural intrigue, fierce heroines, and heart-pounding romance. Known for her captivating stories set in fantastical realms, Stone’s books have become a staple for fans of paranormal romance and urban fantasy. Her writing is a blend of magic, suspense, and steamy romance, creating tales that readers can’t put down.

Stone’s journey into writing began as many do—with a love for storytelling and a fascination with the unexplored corners of the supernatural. Drawing inspiration from her passion for mythology, folklore, and paranormal tales, she built a world where magic isn’t just a fantasy but an integral part of the characters’ lives.

Her popular The Demon Slayer series catapulted her into the spotlight, blending steamy romance with nail-biting action in a way that resonated with readers worldwide. With strong, dynamic characters at the forefront, Stone’s books often center around the internal struggles of her heroines, who must face not only external forces but their own personal battles. Her characters are fierce, flawed, and above all, real, making them the perfect guides through the often dangerous—and always exciting—worlds she creates.

What sets Leia Stone apart is her ability to balance tender moments with the thrill of epic conflicts. Her work doesn’t shy away from difficult themes but brings them to life in ways that feel relatable and empowering. Whether it’s exploring the pull of forbidden love, the consequences of untamed magic, or the loyalty of found families, Stone’s stories reflect the emotional complexity of navigating life’s trials while still fighting for what matters most.

Outside of her writing, Stone is passionate about connecting with her readers, often engaging with her fanbase on social media and in live events. Her community of fans has become a family, and she continues to grow her universe of stories, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of urban fantasy.

For Leia Stone, writing isn’t just about creating worlds—it’s about creating experiences that resonate long after the last page is turned. Her stories remind us that magic may be fictional, but the emotions that come with it—love, loss, and the fight for something greater—are very real.
