What is the Smoking Bones?
The Smoking Bones Saga follows the adventures of Captain Red Jones and the Smoking Bones Travel Company. Their mission is to discover, promote, and preserve the magical places of the world. Along the way, they'll clash with deadly pirates, battle with magical weather, and manage troublesome tourists.
The Smoking Bones Saga is a series of four illustrated novels written and illustrated by award-winning illustrator Andrew Bosley.
The Saga is supported by the addition of 3 board games illustrated by Andrew and published by Stonemaier Games. Released in chronological order, the books will alternate with games to tell a fully immersive story and worldbuilding experience.
Additional books like the Travel Guides expand the world even further.
