Set in a world under a tooth-filled sky, it’s dark, visceral reading that still makes room for heart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAt Fourspires Castle, arcanists practise four disciplines—bone, blood, botany and stone—while their human familiars do the hard work of survival. After the king’s assassination, the realm plunges into the Slaughter: a ruthless competition where alliances are dangerous and death is treated like an exit. Four rival familiars—Taro, Nixie, Elliot and Alix—are forced into an uneasy team-up, chasing answers that might lift the curse rotting their world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers who love queer YA fantasy, court intrigue, morally grey characters and found family dynamics with bite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eStep into Fourspires and see what’s waiting beyond the decay.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52408156782868,"sku":"9781526682994","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781526682994_1.jpg?v=1777434955","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/these-shattered-spires","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
