‘The sci-fi romance adventure you never knew you needed’ – Jennifer L. Armentrout, author of Fall of Ruin and Wrath

A supernatural road-trip thriller featuring an extraordinary young girl and her two unlikely protectors on the run from cultists and the government. The Bones Beneath My Skin is a gripping, heartfelt story that explores what it means to be human – by bestselling author TJ Klune.

He lost everything. Then he found himself . . .

In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his older brother has disowned him, and he’s been fired from his job. Looking for a new direction, he returns to his family’s summer cabin in the mountains of Oregon.

The cabin should be empty. But it’s not. Inside is a man named Alex - and an extraordinary little girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. But there’s far more to her than meets the eye. Soon, it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible.

Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

With his uplifting tales of hope and redemption, there is a TJ Klune book for every reader.
