Sofi and the Bone Song by Adrienne Tooley

Music is magic—but what happens when everything you’ve sacrificed for your art is suddenly taken away?

Sofi and the Bone Song by Adrienne Tooley is a lush, romantic fantasy about ambition, grief, forbidden magic, and discovering who you are beyond the expectations placed upon you.

Sofi Ollenholt has spent her entire life preparing to inherit her father’s prestigious position as Musik, one of the kingdom’s most celebrated musicians. Years of relentless training have made her certain the role belongs to her—until an unexpected girl named Lara is chosen instead.

Convinced Lara must have used illegal magic to win, Sofi sets out to uncover the truth. But the more time the two young women spend together, the more Sofi begins to question everything she has been taught about music, magic, her family, and herself. Rivalry slowly gives way to something much more complicated—and far more tender.

Atmospheric and beautifully imaginative, Sofi and the Bone Song is a story about the cost of perfection, the difference between passion and pressure, and finding the courage to create a life that truly belongs to you.

Perfect for readers who love: sapphic fantasy, rivals-to-lovers romance, magical music, artistic heroines, slow-burn relationships, family secrets, and lyrical standalone fantasy.
