The Bone Season · #2 / 6
The Mime Order
In the internationally bestselling The Bone Season, Paige Mahoney escaped the brutal prison camp of Sheol I, but her problems have only just begun: many of the survivors are missing and she is the most wanted person in London...
As Scion turns its all-seeing eye on the dreamwalker, the mime-lords and mime-queens of the city's gangs are invited to a rare meeting of the Unnatural Assembly. Jaxon Hall and his Seven Seals prepare to take centre stage, but there are bitter fault lines running through the clairvoyant community and dark secrets around every corner.
Then the Rephaim begin crawling out from the shadows. But where is Warden? Paige must keep moving, from Seven Dials to Grub Street to the secret catacombs of Camden, until the fate of the underworld can be decided.

Read full series description
Paige Mahoney, a rare "dreamwalker" with the power to enter other people's minds, is captured and dragged into a secret Oxford controlled by the mysterious Rephaim. These otherworldly beings are not only beyond human comprehension—they’re also masters of manipulation, using their powers to control and dominate the human world. Once there, Paige is forced into servitude and must navigate a complex world of deadly politics, strange alliances, and a power struggle that could change the fate of both humans and the beings they fear.
The series masterfully blends elements of dystopian fiction with paranormal intrigue, delving deep into themes of identity, rebellion, and power. Shannon's world-building is intricate and immersive, offering readers a unique atmosphere where trust is scarce, and every encounter is charged with tension. Paige's journey—marked by betrayal, survival, and self-discovery—draws readers into a fight for freedom against a backdrop of dark forces and shifting loyalties.
The Bone Season series is not only an exploration of the supernatural but also an exploration of the human spirit, resilience, and the drive to change the world—even when it seems impossible. Whether you're captivated by richly layered world-building, complex characters, or the subtle tension of a high-stakes, supernatural thriller, this series offers a unique experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat, questioning what’s real and what’s just an illusion.
With its seamless mix of speculative fiction, mystery, and dystopian elements, The Bone Season offers a fresh twist on the supernatural genre, drawing readers into a story filled with intrigue, danger, and unforgettable characters. As Paige fights to survive, the world she inhabits becomes as much of a character as the people in it.
