When Cressida Hawthorne arrives in Pinejaw, Mississippi, she looks like a harmless old woman who took a wrong turn. Polite. Sweet. Completely out of place in a town full of men who mistake cruelty for power.
They underestimate her.
After a brutal act of revenge, Cressida leaves town with Sadie May-a silent, abused girl no one bothered to protect. What Pinejaw never learns is that Cressida is a hundred-year-old witch who feeds on men to stay young, powerful, and alive.
In the quiet town of Walnut Cove, Massachusetts, Cressida remakes Sadie into something dangerous: beautiful, desirable, and bait. Men disappear. The garden blooms. The arrangement is perfect.
Until Sadie meets someone kind.
Until the town starts asking questions.
Until she realizes protection can be another kind of prison.
Of Bell and Bone is a dark feminist folk horror about revenge, silence, and the price of being kept.

("Quietly marry our daughter, officer... or else, the same rage you came here with, you'll return with your best friend's corpse alongside you.") An IPS officer. That's what I am. Stoic, trained to face gunfire without blinking, to stare criminals in the eye. And yet, here I stood in a mud-stained courtyard, stripped of power, cornered by men who didn't fear the law. Is this real? An officer dragged into a pakdua byaah like some helpless boy? With a village girl-barely literate, cloaked in shyness and fragility? Me-a divorced man, father to a one-year-old daughter who waits for me to come home? Nothing about it fit. And yet everything about it was true. Because my best friend-my brother in every sense-sat tied to a chair across from me. His hands bound, his eyes defiant, and three guns pointed to his head. Aarish. Soon to be a father himself. Husband to Suhani, who was as much my sister as blood could make her. What was I supposed to do? Marry or rebel? The choice was never mine. I whispered, almost ashamed: "Main talaaqshuda hoon... aur ek beti ka baap bhi." ("I am divorced... and also the father of a daughter.") She looked at me with steady innocence: "Nahi... ab aap ek shaadi-shuda insaan hai. Aur hum uss bachi ki maa hai." ("No... now you are a married man. And I am that child's mother.")
