MASTER OF SALT & BONES by Keri Lake
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: 22nd April 2020
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He’d ride up on his white steed and break the curse I’ve been fated to carry since the day I was born.
Funny how things changed over time. How the fairy tale twisted into something far more crooked, darker than I ever imagined.
In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.
Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.
Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself.
Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.
He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, he’s the one who needs saving.

★4.5 STARS★
Master of Salt & Bones is a story driven by mystery and suspicion, set in a world where it’s occupants are as calculating as they are devious.
The Devil of Bonesalt, Lucian Blackthorne has a reputation that terrifies many a grown adult. Rarely seen but widely gossiped about, Isadora Quinn is as fascinated by her new employer as she is terrified. Although worlds apart, Isadora can identify to the feeling of being on the outside looking in. She too has secrets, and as scary as he may first appear, she soon sees the man beneath the mask.
Gothic in its telling, Master of Salt & Bones is a love story that cultivates in the dark. Lucian is plagued by ghosts of the past, but it’s the future he wants with Isadora that force him to excise them.
A masterfully woven tale of suspense and intrigue, Lake’s character & story building is as immense as the world she creates.
