Crown of Bones (The Amassia Series, 1)

Raise. Your. Phantom.
In a world on the brink of the next Great Dying, no amount of training can prepare us for what is to come.
A young heir will raise the most powerful phantom in all of Baiseen.
A dangerous High Savant will do anything to control the nine realms.
A mysterious and deadly Mar race will steal children into the sea.
And a handsome guide with far too many secrets will make me fall in love.
My name is Ash. A lowly scribe meant to observe and record. And yet I might be destined to surprise us all...
