Shadow and Bone meets Dune in Stonebound, the vivid, heart-pounding YA fantasy duology about a world on the edge, from multi-award-winning Jen Williams.

The Sea Wall was built to keep the monsters out, but what happens if they're already inside?


Phable and Heimay are speeding towards the fabled Sea Wall, about to be assigned their roles in life. The Wall, which separates the desert-like Dry from the ominous incoming Flood, was built to keep out nightmarish monsters known as the Dread.

Heimay, to her dismay, is immediately assigned the role of Seer - fated to predict when the next Flood will come. But Phable is elated when she is chosen for the navigator faction: here, she can fulfill her dream of piloting a Viathon, one of the great, ancient beasts carved from Spirit Stone. The only protection against the Dread.

Phable soon discovers that years of book-learning from her childhood in the Great Library will be no help to her in the cutthroat world of the Sea Wall, which is more dangerous than she could have imagined. And when she discovers Talon, a sentient, illegal Viathon, and Heimay uncovers the horrific, blood-soaked secrets of the ruling Celapha lords, the two of them must choose: serve a corrupt empire or risk execution and ignite a revolution.

Critic reviews

A fresh, vibrant, uniquely compelling read filled with fascinating characters in a beautifully intricate world that I couldn't get enough of. I could not put it down. (Abigail Owen on The Sleepless)
