What this book is about
Tea accidentally resurrects her dead brother at his funeral. This marks her as a bone witch — a dark asha who can raise the dead and command daeva (magical beasts). She is taken from her family to train. The Bone Witch is the first of a trilogy — YA fantasy told from two timelines: Tea's training, and a future Tea who has become something darker.
