Excerpt from The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon!

Source
Samantha Shannon wrote The Bone Season while studying for her exams at Oxford.

A year later, she was agented and being offered a three-book deal by publishing giant Bloomsbury.

For those of who don't know, The Bone Season  follows protagonist Paige Mahoney, an underworld clairvoyant, as she fights for survival in futuristic England. It's high fantasy meets paranormal meets dystopian and it's one of the most talked-about books of the year so far.

The generous six-figure sum Shannon received for this first in a planned seven book series has some calling her the new JK Rowling and with the book already optioned by Imaginarium (the film studio co-owned by Andy Serkis), it certainly looks like this young author is headed that way.

The Bone Season publishes in just fifty days - but if you can't wait that long, why not check out this this exclusive three-chapter extract and see for yourself what all the hype's about?!

Enjoy!
