By Will Shindler
The Bone Queen
A chilling psychological thriller set on a remote island where folklore bleeds into reality.
When Jenna’s teenage daughter vanishes from their London home, the only clue is a ferry ticket to the remote island of Athelsea.
Desperate, Jenna follows and finds a village gripped by a macabre legend: the Bone Queen, a vengeful figure whispered about but never named aloud.
As she uncovers a trail of youths, reality begins to warp and folklore darkens into something far more dangerous.
The Bone Queen has already chosen her next victim — and Jenna is running out of time.
