Two sorceresses of unrivaled potential clash to claim the greater fate and the heart of prince charming in this deliciously romantic fantasy set in the same world as the USA Today bestselling romantasy Never the Roses by Jennifer K. Lambert.
"Love, magic, heartbreak, and healing." --Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop, on Never the Roses Ambitious young sorceress Rose of Northbrooke is about to graduate. She's the only known dream sorcerer of her generation and she's a remarkable one--formidably powerful, strikingly beautiful, and destined for greatness. No wonder she has a prince of the realm trailing her skirts. But when rumors of dream magic gone awry reach her ear, Rose discovers she's not the only oneiromancer of her generation. And she might not be the most powerful. In a faraway cottage, Thorn has lived a simple and isolated life. She's kept hidden by magic that prevents her from wandering past the cottage fence. Thorn longs to be a part of the world, to learn more about her magic, to be rescued by a prince who could love her with his whole heart. When she discovers there's another dream sorceress out there who has everything Thorn has ever wanted--freedom, education, prince and all--her acceptance of her isolation transforms into a hunger for everything she has been denied. Everything Rose has. When Rose and Thorn meet, they realize their lives have been a lie and their fates have been carefully planned by political schemers. The outcome is clear: only one sorceress can live in the open, reap all the glory of her kingdom, and claim the prince's loving hand... condemning the other to a life of perpetual non-existence. Deliciously messy and lusciously romantic, Among the Thorns will pierce your heart. This hardcover edition includes a beautifully designed map, printed endpapers, and a stunning case stamp. Expect:
