The Bone Orchid is a lush, literary dark fantasy rooted in the blood-soaked soil of Mauritius-a story of memory, magic, and the price of survival. On an island where the wind whispers names before the dead return, sixteen-year-old Léa hears the call of something older than the sea. The sugarcane fields where she labors are haunted not just by ghosts-but by a flower that blooms only from bones: the Trochetia.

Produktbeschreibung
The Bone Orchid is a lush, literary dark fantasy rooted in the blood-soaked soil of Mauritius-a story of memory, magic, and the price of survival. On an island where the wind whispers names before the dead return, sixteen-year-old Léa hears the call of something older than the sea. The sugarcane fields where she labors are haunted not just by ghosts-but by a flower that blooms only from bones: the Trochetia. When the sea returns the body of Kavi's younger brother with a smile stitched into its drowned face, Léa and Kavi are thrust into a centuries-old curse that binds the island's magic to colonial violence and ancestral grief. At the center of it all lies the Witch of Poudre d'Or, a living myth who offers power-for a price. As storms rise and the dead begin to bloom, Léa must uncover the truth behind the Trochetia's origin. The deeper she digs, the more she discovers that the seed is not just inside the earth-it is inside her. Bound by a magic that remembers everything, Léa and Kavi must choose whether to contain the island's wound once again-or let it bloom into something monstrous. The Bone Orchid is a spellbinding story of sacrifice, inheritance, and the hunger of land that never forgets. Perfect for fans of The Deep by Rivers Solomon, The Bear and the Nightingale, and Woven in Moonlight.
