Today Book Club Selects The Bone Season as First Pick

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon




The Today show has launched a book club, called the Today Book Club. The first pick is The Bone Season, the first novel by 21-year-old Oxford University graduate Samantha Shannon. The novel is set in 2059 where clairvoyance has been outlawed and a security force, the Scion, is in charge of major cities, including London. The heroine, Paige Mahoney, is a dreamwalker, a rare type of clairvoyant. Paige is arrested and sent to a voyant prison run by an alien race, called the Rephaim.



The Bone Season is part of a seven book series. Film rights for the series have already been sold. Paige was interviewed by Today’s Natalie Morales. Take a look:
