Isadora Quinn has never known a life free of hardship. Shunned by her community as the daughter of a “wretched” mother, her dream is to escape Bonesalt and start anew elsewhere. To fund this dream, she takes a job as a live-in caretaker for the elderly mother of the island’s most feared recluse: Lucian Blackthorne.
Isa is a revelation in a genre often filled with passive heroines. She is angry. She is pragmatic. And she is deeply, achingly vulnerable without being weak. Her disability (avascular necrosis) is not a plot device to be magically cured by love; it is a constant, gnawing presence. She limps. She takes painkillers. She mourns the dancer she used to be. Lake handles this with stunning sensitivity. Isa’s scars are her armor, and when she first meets Lucian’s monstrous reputation, she doesn’t cower. She snaps back.
At its heart, Master of Salt and Bones is a tale of redemption, trauma, and forbidden desire. When Isadora first enters the haunted-feeling Blackthorne mansion, she expects to care for an elderly woman, not to get entangled with the dangerous, mysterious "master" of the house.

Keri Lake’s writing is polarizing. She is a “purple prose” author in the best sense of the term. Her sentences are long, lyrical, and packed with metaphor. For example: “His madness was a symphony, and I was learning to love the dissonance.” If you prefer sparse, dialogue-driven narratives, this will feel overwrought. But if you love to sink into language, to feel the weight of every adjective, you will be in heaven.
