The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart

4.0

Lin may be the daughter of the emperor, but that isn't enough to guarantee that she'll rule in her father's place. If she hopes to one day take over the kingdom, she'll have to regain a lifetime of missing memories and master her father's bone shard magic, even if she has to go behind his back to do it.

Jovis has spent years of his life and every penny he has on the search for his missing wife. He's run afoul of the emperor's forces and the local organized crime syndicate, and now he's somehow mixed up with the rebels. He just wants to keep his head down and find his wife, but fate seems to have other plans.

Frankly, a short synopsis isn't enough to do this book justice and I'm already frustrated by how much I've left out. Suffice it to say that it's very, very good. It's a twisting, complex fantasy universe with characters who have their own goals to pursue and a seriously messed up underbelly that comes to light gradually over the course of the story. It's dark, but it's also delightful. I'd highly recommend it.
