My Thorns For Your Roses

My Thorns For Your Roses

Kristen Argyres

True love takes many forms. As one of the few survivors of her generation, Lark wants to live a quiet, peaceful life. All she needs is a tolerable husband. On her 24th birthday, Lark offends the local faerie lord, the shapeshifter Tamlin, who punishes her with a rose rooted in her flesh. In her efforts to convince Tamlin to undo his handiwork, Lark visits the forest daily and discovers the breathtaking and terrifying wonders of his realm. Despite her pragmatic nature tugging her toward a mortal huntsman, Lark falls for Tamlin. After a near-fatal accident exposes Tamlin’s cruel deception, Lark moves to the capital to accept a marriage of convenience. Yet when she learns of Tamlin’s capture, Lark must choose whether to secure her future or risk it all to save the love of her life from his cannibal ex. -- MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES is a "Tam Lin" retelling written in the spirit of the Scottish faerie tale and folksong - for readers who enjoyed the fae in Heather Fawcett's EMILY WILDE series, retellings like Naomi Novik's SPINNING SILVER, and the complicated family dynamics of Kell Woods' AFTER THE FOREST and UPON A STARLIT TIDE. Book cover artist: Yinan Sun (Grey)

    Glossary & Pronunciation Guide

    I'm so excited to see that this book contains not only a map but also a glossary and a pronunciation guide. I adore it when authors (and publishers) put proper effort into details that go beyond the text itself. The same goes for the chapter headers, the dedication page (plus the dedication itself), and the dividers.

    So far, I've only skimmed the glossary, as I am worried it might spoil some plot points, but if anyone thinks I should take a closer look at it before I start reading, please let me know!

    i’m reading this for the first time as a buddy read with my sister :D

    this series, in many ways, has been in my life for as long as i can remember (my mom has cherished it and ALWAYS had the movies on while i was growing up,) but i’m so eager to experience this world on my own alongside my best friend <3
