\nWhen an injury throws a young\, battle-hungry orc off her chosen path\, she may find that what we need isn't always what we seek. Set in the world of New York Times bestselling "Legends &\; L attes\," Travis Baldree's "Bookshops &\; Bonedust" takes us on a journe y of high fantasy\, first loves\, and second-hand books. Viv's career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam's Ravens isn't going as planned. W ounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer\, she's packed off again st her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk so far from the action that she worries she'll never be able to return to it. What's a th warted soldier of fortune to do? Spending her hours at a beleaguered books hop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv wo uld have predicted\, but it may be both exactly what she needs and the see d of changes she couldn't possibly imagine. Still\, adventure isn't all th at far away. A suspicious traveler in gray\, a gnome with a chip on her sh oulder\, a summer fling\, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected. \;
