A LESSON IN THORNS

Twelve years ago, Proserpina Markham walked away from Thornchapel, the eerie manor tucked deep in the moors, and the two boys who split her heart in two: the golden and commanding Auden Guest, and his broken, brooding enemy, Saint Sebastian Martinez.

Now she's back.

The gardens are still overgrown. The chapel still locked. The house still full of secrets and shadows. And so are they.

But nothing about Thornchapel is ever simple.

As Proserpina is drawn back into a tangled web of old friendships, ritual magic, dark lust, and forbidden bonds, she finds herself caught between Auden's sharp dominance, Saint's aching loneliness, and the centuries-old story they've unknowingly stepped into.

The house wants something.

The land remembers everything.

And Thornchapel is ready to bloom again—with pleasure, pain, and prophecy.
