Ice Bone Novels & Stories

Ever since I was young, I knew that my parents' work was unique. My father was a detective who had solved many major cases, while my mother was a forensic artist who was capable of finding clues from the victim's bones. Together, they solved numerous cases. Their most famous one was the White Bone Case five years ago. It was a case about a criminal gang who abducted and killed homeless people before using their bones to smuggle drugs. Since these were real human bones, they could easily avoid being caught by claiming these bones as medical materials.

When Jace turned and looked at Rain, the girl simultaneously expressed shock, fear and disgust. "Is that a human bone?" Jace raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah, it's a bone." "You used human bones as weapons?" Rain wanted to make sure that Jace was probably joking. "This is a black bone—a black human bone." Rain covered her mouth with her hand. "The colour is very intense." "This bone has strong magical abilities if used by the right person. But, if a person without magic powers touches it, it's just a normal bone that doesn't have any abilities and effects on the wielder."

"Come on, Harlan. We are on the same team. If something is wrong with you, I need to know. Is it drugs? Some kind of medical condition?" Kane let out a short laugh with no humor in it. "Not drugs. Not a condition. Just leave me alone." "You almost shifted or something on the ice," Elias pressed, voice low. "I saw claws starting to come out. Do not tell me that was nothing." Kane stepped around him. "You are imagining things, Voss. Game is over. Go celebrate with the guys." Elias followed him toward the door. "I know what I saw. Your ribs right now. Let me see how they look."

But every time I looked across the ice, my eyes found her. Danica Jones. She wore the Harrison blue and gold like armor, skating warm-ups with that same fierce grace that had haunted me for months. The bouquet I had given her flashed in my mind — the way she had held it, fingers tight around the stems, not throwing it back. That small mercy had cracked something open inside me that I couldn’t close again.

I asked, leaning against a heavy wooden workbench for support. ​“It was a delivery system,” Leo said, his voice trembling with a rare fear. He dropped the shard into a bowl of salt water. The water instantly turned a murky, bruised purple, and the bowl began to crack from the cold. “The High Admiral did not just want to find us. He wanted to infect the North’s frequency. This metal is not Western steel. It is Abyssal bone, refined in a solar furnace and then encoded with a viral vibration. It is a rot that speaks to the stone.”

SARAH The stadium lights were so bright they made the falling snow look like glitter. Loud. Blinding. Electric. And somehow… I was still invisible in all of it. The crowd roared as Henry skated past center ice, slicing through defenders like he owned the entire rink. Of course he did—Captain, golden boy, the school’s pride, the Blake everyone wanted to take pictures with. “Henry! Henry! Henry!” Their voices shook the dome, echoing off the frosted glass.

As soon as she scattered wolfsbane powder over the wound, the blood turned purple-black. Nina thrashed within me, but she couldn't manifest at all. The only sound she could make was a faint whimper.

Her touch was gentle but sure, blending the product into my face like she was painting on confidence one careful stroke at a time. "You have amazing bone structure," she said, her voice taking on the focused tone she used when she was concentrating. "Like, criminally underrated cheekbones. I don't know why you spend so much time trying to hide them." "I usually hide them under exhaustion and bad lighting." "Well, tonight they're going to make grown men weep actual tears."

came a voice from behind, and I scrambled away from the microscope, heart thudding in my chest. “Told you, Leo,” Jade snorted. “He’s here, but not with his senses.” Leo sighed, “Yeah. You’re right.” “Now pay up.” We were in the biology lab, lab coats over our regular clothes, and in front of us lay a dissected owl pellet—an experiment long forgotten as Leo counted dollar notes and handed them to a beaming Jade. “You guys are unbelievable,” I huffed, returning to the microscope. “You know what’s unbelievable?” Jade leaned across the table, looking at me dreamily. “That your phone’s been off all day.”

she yelled after me. I walked into the kitchen to see Blake standing in front of the sink, his hands soapy up to his forearms as he dipped them back into the sink. He had on a tight white tee that showed off his rippling back muscles as he moved around the kitchen. My tongue darted out to wet my lips and I gulped at the sight. I stalked over to him, making sure to be quiet so he wouldn't notice and grabbed his ass, making him jerk in fright.
