KILL THE SORCERESS AND SAVE THE KINGDOM
When Rohese is convicted of the murder of a prince, she is given the choice of the condemned: execution, or entry into the cursed city of Moonscarrow. If she can find the heart of the Lady of Thorns within the city and pierce it through, she will earn her freedom.
But Moonscarrow is not as she imagined. It is excruciatingly beautiful, haunted by pale wraiths, and filled with dark memories of the Lady of Thorns’ untold past.
As Rohese grows closer to finding the heart, she begins to question everything she believed about the sorceress and must make her final choice…
Kill the sorceress and save the kingdom – or set her free and watch it burn?
From the World Fantasy Award-winning and Sunday Times bestselling author of The Isle in the Silver Sea comes a new gothic romantasy tale: a condemned woman must earn her freedom by destroying the evil sorceress hidden within a cursed city.

Reviews
An exquisitely wrought folktale for our age. Tasha Suri speaks with nuanced voice to societal wounds of division, our desperate need for story, and the vividness of love for its own sake. A masterful, mournful, beautiful mosaic of a tale, The Lady of Thorns will stay with you long after you close its pearlescent pages. I savored every last word
What a story. And so I find myself once again kneeling at the altar of Tasha Suri. How shall I describe this book - a tale both sinister and romantic, of lies and longing, of curses, of bone-white cities, touched with the starlight of Tolkien's elves, but brutal under that beauty. I cannot get enough of Suri's lyricism; she attends so beautifully to the craft of writing, every word well-placed, every description unfurling vividly in the mind's eye. Five stars, bright as Moonscarrow stone
