The Bone Season is captive / captor, slow burn & hidden world / portal — sweet (1/5), first-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.
In dystopian 2059 London, nineteen-year-old Paige Mahoney survives as a clairvoyant criminal — an existence punishable by death under the authoritarian Scion regime. Arrested and transported to a hidden Oxford controlled by the Rephaim, a ruthless otherworldly race who harvest clairvoyants each decade, Paige is assigned to a keeper called Warden whose motives she cannot read. To survive and escape, she must put her trust in the enemy.
