A Petal And A Thorn

By Bella Donnis and Sally Bryan

A reclusive author.
A mysterious woman.
A love story that should never have existed.

Once celebrated as a literary prodigy, Erica has spent years trapped inside the decaying mansion she calls home - alone, alcoholic, and unable to write another successful novel since her debut made her both famous and wealthy.

After a humiliating encounter with a fellow writer pushes her to the brink, Erica prepares to end her life.

Then, just before midnight, there's a knock at the door.

The woman standing outside calls herself Tilly.

Beautiful, strange, and impossible, Tilly is not merely familiar to Erica - she is the heroine of her most beloved novel, a character created from the author's own vision of perfection.

But Tilly does not exist.

As the line between fiction and reality begins to blur, Erica finds herself falling dangerously in love for the first time in her life. Yet beneath the growing intimacy lies a terrifying question:

Who is Tilly really?

An obsessive admirer?
A cruel deception?
Or something far stranger?

And when a second mysterious woman arrives claiming to know the truth, Erica is forced to confront the devastating secret at the heart of the story that made her famous.

Darkly romantic, haunting, and impossible to forget, A Petal and a Thorn is a gothic sapphic tale of obsession, redemption, and the stories that have the power to save us - or destroy us.
