Synopsis

Dwelling in the dark of Utah, there is one entity that the Native locals fear above all else... and it's growing bolder.

Alice Zenith is a girl from Manhattan with a worn werewolf romance book tucked in her back pocket and a past rife with loss. She knows monsters don't exist. When her roommate disappears after a night out with a mysterious stranger, Alice begins investigating her disappearance, and becomes involved in a much darker world than she was ready for.

Alice is thrown into a reality that makes nightmares look like children's play.

Her only ally is a grouchy, brooding ancient creature, one she probably should be running from, but he has answers she needs despite the fact that the locals won't look him in the eye.

Armed with nothing but ancient flint, turquoise and ash, Alice is forced to survive a corporate job run by someone who might not even be human, while learning all about the world she accidentally waltzed into.

Will Alice listen to the warnings and run? Or will she lose her heart before then?

This is book 1 of 4 of the Bones saga.

About the Author

J. R. Stokoe grew up on a farm in the Empire State. She spent her childhood walking barefoot through the forests, beneath the shivering cottonwoods, picking arrowheads from the overturned neighboring farm fields, hunting for deer sheds, and writing stories.
She brings her lived-in experiences of nature and the world to her writing including scents of dirt, snow, and blood because it's there in her daily life; the minute details of her own reality brought to paper.
Additionally, she channels her lifetime of training horses and high energy dogs to detail the wild "creature-ness" of her monsters, and an understanding of psychology to the trauma. 
Red Smith once said about writing stories: You simply sit down at the typewriter, open your veins, and bleed. For J. R. this has been the experience. Anything worth doing is worth enduring the pain for. Anything worth reading is worth pushing through the darkest parts. And, any life worth living is worth the messy human reality of growth and pain.
