DOOR

THE

BONE

Coming May 2026

When Hop awakens in an ancient labyrinth, he has no memory of his life, or how he got here.

He does not recognise the mysterious girl trapped with him.

And he certainly cannot identify the shadowy figure stalking him, whispering terrible things . . .

But there is one thing he is certain of.

He must escape.

The only way out of the labyrinth is through The Bone Door. But it lies behind a series of locked doors hidden across an array of strange realms. To open the way, Hop must complete impossible tasks before his time runs out.

As Hop travels deeper into the maze, he discovers that he and his companions may be more connected to the place and its horrors than he could ever imagine.

Unless Hop is able to unravel the true mystery of the labyrinth, and his own role within it, the Bone Door and any hope of escape will be lost forever.

'The Bone Door is epic, ambitious, and outrageously creative, with all the loveable characters, layered worldbuilding and vivid imagery that make White such a force to be reckoned with'

Keshe Chow, Sunday Times Bestselling Author of 'The Girl With No Reflection'

‘The Bone Door is a unique, emotional read that tackles trauma, empathy, human cruelty, and grief, but that also makes you laugh and appreciate the beauty of love and of being alive. Don’t miss it!'

Emma Sterner-Radley, author of 'Snowblooded'

'The Bone Door is a story that asks profound questions about the nature of evil, the possibility of redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit. The human heart is a labyrinth―not unlike the one her characters navigate―containing both wonders and horrors at every turn, and in this bold new novel, Frances White is not afraid to open every door of the human experience.'

Sunyi Dean, author of
'The Book Eaters'

‘In an achingly heartwarming story that is equal parts hilarious and horrifying, White delivers unforgettable characters and a wildly imaginative plot’

Laura R. Samotin, author of 'The Sins On Their Bones'

'Darkly delightful and endlessly imaginative. Frances White is at the top of her game yet again with this deft and twisty tale'

Jules Arbeaux, Author of 'Lord of the Empty Isle'
