Altar of Bones is nothing like what you would expect especially if you use its position on the bestselling list & its cover art to come to whatever predetermined conclusion you may have. It is wildly original and shocking!
The novel combines several main characters and storylines that connect in the most astonishing way by the end including the mystery of a homeless woman's true identity as she runs from an assassin, a shocking confession from an old man on his deathbed who mumbles nonsense about The Big Kill & a story of how the daughter of a powerful Russian mafia boss makes a few surprising discoveries about her past. These plots are all birthed at a Russian concentration camp in the late 1930s, when a woman takes her sick lover to a secret spot in the mountains known as the Altar of Bones to not only escape their impending deaths but also to cure him. Basically everyone in the novel is out to either protect or locate this powerful Altar of Bones which is rumored to be a fountain of youth or source of eternal life.
Not only is the mysterious power behind the Altar of Bones intriguing enough to capture your interest but midway through the novel Carter introduces a more complex plot that will surely excite conspiracy theorists. The overall plot of Altar of Bones is definitely a guaranteed icebreaker & great conversational topic. Not only for the conspiracy theories but also for discussion on the very modern & scientific explanations behind the workings of the Altar of Bones itself.
Altar of Bones is absolutely worth your time. All readers will love it no matter what your favorite genre may be & the suspense alone makes the novel a page turner not to mention the creativity & complexity of the plot.
