    Summary

    For a thousand years, the kingdom of Veyr has been protected by the Thornwake: a vast, enchanted forest that keeps ancient monsters and forgotten gods beyond its borders. The forest is dying. Its black thorns are spreading into villages, its beasts are growing bolder, and people are waking with memories of lives they never lived.
    Mara Vey, a sharp-tongued apprentice monster hunter, discovers she can hear the Thornwake speak. That makes her valuable to the crown, dangerous to the church, and fascinating to Prince Caelan, whose family may have helped poison the forest in the first place.
    As Mara and her unlikely companions uncover the truth, they must decide whether to save the kingdom—or free the power buried beneath it.

    Tone: sweeping adventure, eerie folklore, courtly intrigue, slow-burn romance, irreverent humor, and graphic peril.
    Mature content: strong language, bloody violence and gore, adult themes, and romantic tension.
