From New York Times bestselling author Harper L. Woods comes The Heir & the Spare, a never-before-published novella in the Of Flesh & Bone series!
SPOILER WARNING: This book is overflowing with spoilers and should only be read after devouring What Sleeps Within the Cove.
Once, I’d spent my life in the tunnels beneath the mountains. Now, I’m bound to a husband I didn’t want.
My mother waited centuries to find me on the other side of the Veil of Flesh and Bone where the Lunar Witches hid me. She sent her greatest weapon, the God of the Dead, when the Veil finally fell.
But I never expected to love his human mate, Estrella, the way I did–to feel the sisterly bond between us as if it had never been interrupted in our lifetimes spent apart since a rogue witch took her away.
But Mab sees love as a weakness, and she uses my bond with Estrella to manipulate me into a betrothal I never desired.
This marriage is a cage, a means of control that goes against everything within me.
But when Estrella is banished into Tartarus, I am left no choice but to journey to the Summer Court and take my place as a bride and a queen.
No matter what I leave behind.

Read full series description
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. The romance is dark and complicated, a perfect reflection of the series’ atmosphere: raw, passionate, and sometimes perilous. But beyond the allure of forbidden love lies a deeper, more dangerous game—the struggle for power, freedom, and survival in a world where nothing is ever truly what it seems.
In Of Flesh & Bone, every page is a delicate dance of light and shadow, where every twist pulls you deeper into a world that's as enchanting as it is perilous. The stakes are high, the stakes are personal, and with every revelation, the world and its characters are irrevocably changed. If you crave a story where magic and danger collide in breathtaking ways, Of Flesh & Bone promises to leave you entranced and eager for more.
