The Bone Raiders
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.
"Awesome. Masterfully executed. Frequently hilarious." — Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
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.

Jackson Ford
Jackson Ford is the kind of writer who doesn’t just break the rules—he tosses them out a window, sets them on fire, and then makes you laugh while watching them burn. Under this pseudonym, South African author and journalist Rob Boffard lets loose with the Frost Files, a genre-blurring rollercoaster of science fiction, psychic powers, and relentless, razor-sharp humor. The series stars Teagan Frost, a telekinetic with a chip on her shoulder and a knack for finding trouble in every corner of Los Angeles, all while cracking jokes you’ll still be laughing at three chapters later.
The Rakada
The Rakada consists of two books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
