Thorn is a half-blood, the child of a bloodthirsty monster and a torn woman. She travels with a caravan, but nowhere feels at home. And when a mysterious danger hangs over the family that shelters her, fear leads Thorn deep into the thicket—out of which no one has ever returned.
There, at the lord’s court, Thorn learns more about the nature of terrifying monsters and about her own powers, and her world begins to change.
Maybe being herself isn’t so scary?
