BONES OF THE GODS (2022)

Scout launches its latest high fantasy title! Twenty years after an epic battle between the world's two Gods, civilization has re-emerged from the ashes of that confrontation. The Gods destroyed each other during the epic fight, their shattered bones raining down below. It is said that these bone shards contain incredible power... if you can find one... if they even really exist. Esper Haddon is sixteen years old and frustrated with her life. She's the daughter of a protective warrior-turned-farmer, but she wishes for something, anything exciting to happen.  However, after she discovers the bone of a God buried on her farm and dark forces come hunting for her, she may soon regret that wish.

After the shocking and devastating events at the end of the previous issue, Esper finds herself on the run while dealing with strange, unpredictable new abilities. New allies and enemies emerge while everyone searches for the newest remnant of the Gods, which may just be the most powerful one ever discovered.

New York Times-bestselling author Brendan Deneen continues to weave his captivating tale of mortals daring to seek the power of the gods. The beautiful artwork of Mauricio Melo brings life to this epic.

One of the most important people from Esper's past has returned from the dead! And with this resurrection comes only more questions, and more threats to her life. As she and her new group of allies head to a city where answers may lie, they soon realize that they have left one difficult situation and ended up in another that is far more dangerous.

The Echo Priests have revealed themselves, and Esper Haddon will wish they never have! As she and her allies are tortured, a larger secret is revealed, something that will change the entire world's understanding of the long-dead Gods. And at her breaking point, Esper is visited by an unexpected ally, with a result that leads directly into the final, all-battle issue of the series!

It all comes down to this! Esper faces off against two incredibly powerful enemies, both of whom possess bone shards from the Gods, and want her dead! Secrets will be revealed, allies will rise, and not everyone will survive this thrilling finale of the first story arc!
