Thorns of the Forgotten: A Dark Gothic Fantasy Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180034472)

She hears the dead. He has been dead for three centuries. Their love is the only thing the darkness cannot consume.

Selene Duskborne kneels in graveyards, listening to whispers no one else can hear. When her brother takes work in the cursed Blackstone Palace, she follows - and meets the Obsidian King. Ash has held back the god-beneath-the-city for three hundred years, but his prison is cracking, his sanity fraying. He needs a death-speaker. He needs Selene.

The pact binds her to the dead, to the shadows, and to him. As the veil between worlds thins and the Black Court rises, Selene must learn to command the very ghosts that once haunted her. But the god below feeds on despair - and love is the only weapon it cannot understand.

Thorns of the Forgotten is a dark Gothic fantasy romance about grief you carry so long you forget it's there, about monsters who choose to be better, and about a love that stands at the edge of the dark - and steps forward.

"This is a love story that spans a lifetime - and ends where all lifetimes do."
