Audio Narrated by Mollie Stark and Sebastian Grove! https://geni.us/UjSXU    




The Bone Dagger is a strong debut fantasy that lays the groundwork for what promises to be an exciting series. Clara Rhodes creates an intriguing world filled with curses, monsters, ancient magic, and just enough mystery to keep you turning the pages.

Helaina has spent her entire life hidden away, knowing she was different but never truly understanding why. Feeling more like a prisoner than someone being protected, it's easy to understand why she resented those closest to her. When tragedy takes everything from her, she loses the will to keep going—until Theo enters her life and forces her to make a choice: live for something or die for nothing.

I won't lie—some of Helaina's interactions with Theo gave me a bit of whiplash. Her feelings and reactions toward him shifted so quickly at times that it pulled me out of the story and left me a little frustrated. That said, I really enjoyed Theo's role in challenging Helaina to stop seeing herself as a victim and realize that her loved ones didn't die in vain. Watching her slowly discover a purpose beyond her grief was one of my favorite parts of the book.

I also loved the dual timeline. The glimpses into the past gradually unraveled Helaina's history while adding emotional depth to everything happening in the present. It was a clever way to reveal secrets without slowing the momentum of the story.

Overall, The Bone Dagger delivers an engaging blend of fantasy, danger, and slow-building romance. While Helaina's character took some getting used to, the worldbuilding, unfolding mysteries, and compelling setup have me eager to see where this series goes next.
    

In this spellbinding debut fantasy, passion and peril entwine in a tale of curses, monsters, and forbidden desire. Perfect for fans of dark romance, this sweeping first installment introduces a heroine whose heart may be as dangerous as her power. Born with the blood of a hell god in her veins, Helaina Ironblood has lived her life in secrecy, hidden from a realm already teetering on the edge of ruin. When tragedy shatters her family and the heir to the throne is lost, Helaina is cast into exile--her cursed power now a beacon to enemies who would see the world burn. Beyond the Ash Cliff Mountains, monsters stalk the land, and darker forces hunger for the weapon Helaina carries within her. Seized by Theodon Wrenn, the feared captain of a mysterious legion, Helaina is thrust into a war that stretches far beyond her imagining. Ruthless, commanding, and bound by secrets of his own, Theodon believes she is the key to victory. Yet the more he tries to bend her to his will, the more he is drawn to her defiance--and to the dangerous fire in her blood. Unlocking her power requires the Bone Dagger, an ancient relic that binds gods, beasts, and mortals alike, but demands a price--Helaina's mortal life. Torn between the man who would sacrifice her and the destiny she never wanted, Helaina must decide whether her curse will bring salvation ... or ruin.     
  

 
   Known as the fun mom who embraces chaos, she loves fitness, reading, and making memories with her family. After experiencing the loss of both her siblings, she turned grief into creativity and began writing her debut romantasy novel. Her first book was started with the intention to help others who are navigating grief feel less alone. Now, with stories pouring out, she envisions a second career as an author, bringing her love for storytelling to life.

Fifteen years after she broke me, her uncle’s debt lands her in my club. I vow to make her remember exactly who I am, and to ruin her the way she ruined me.

But revenge becomes dangerous when obsession takes its place. And the more she trembles beneath my fingers, the more I realize I don’t want her begging for freedom.

Everything is falling into place.

There are only a couple of months to go before I turn eighteen, and I can take custody of my baby brother. My mother is still pretending I don't exist, which is a relief.

Everything in my life is working out for the best. And I can't imagine anything possibly going wrong...

Cover Reveal: The Mortal Trials by Casey L. Bond

Title: The Mortal Trials
Author: Casey L. Bond
Genre: New Adult Epic Fantasy
Editor: Stacy Sanford/ The Girl with the Red Pen
Cover: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services
Publication Date: Sept. 7, 2026
In a game of gods… If you win, you lose. If you lose, you die.

Callalie Ryan came home from war in pieces—her body broken, her name smeared across headlines, and her family in ruins. When the goddess Morrigan drags her from her desert home and orders her to Olympus, Callalie is forced into The Mortal Trials: five brutal contests staged by gods who find delight in mortal suffering, hosted by Ares, Greek god of war.

With a rusted prosthetic that shrieks with every step and a family the gods use as leverage, Callalie must outlast god-conjured beasts, shifting rules, and posturing pantheons long enough to secure a divine champion. But she’s not the only one paying the price… She soon learns that many of the other contenders have been drawn into the games by their connection to her.

How do you play a game where every victory is a punishment and showing mercy might get you killed? As heroes fall and tentative alliances are tested, Callalie must decide how much of her humanity she’s willing to sacrifice to survive the gods betting on her ruin.

Welcome to The Mortal Trials, where victory is just another kind of death.


Casey Bond lives on a rural farm in West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters.

World building is one of her favorite hobbies, along with stamping metal jewelry, swimming, and enjoying the beauty of nature. She thinks thunderstorms are better than coffee and that watching a meteor shower is the closest thing to magic you might ever see.
