"Matilda Bone is highly educated, especially for a girl in medieval times, and she has been taught to occupy herself with spiritual matters, rising above worldly concerns. But when she's sent to the workshop of Red Peg the Bonesetter in Blood and Bone Alley to serve as an apprentice, all her training and refinement is useless. In Peg's domain, nothing matters but earthly pursuits -- such as healing the injured. But Matilda doesn't know the first thing about buying food and lighting a fire, let alone setting bones. How can she flourish in such a place? Does she even want to?"--Back cover
