Be swept up in this brilliant witchy tale about forbidden magic and missing girls who don't need handsome princes to rescue them, perfect for fans of the Serpent & Dove series.
Maude is the daughter of witches. She spent her childhood running wild with her best friend, Odette, weaving stories of girls who slayed dragons and saved princes. Then Maude grew up and lost her magic – and her best friend. Storytelling is her only gift that remains.
Odette always hungered for forbidden, dangerous magic, and two weeks ago she went searching for it. Now she's missing, and everyone believes she's dead. Everyone except Maude.
Maude is sure she can find Odette inside the ruins of Sicklehurst, an abandoned power plant built over an ancient magical forest – a place nobody else seems to remember is there. The danger is, nobody knows what remains inside Sicklehurst, either. And every good story is sure to have a monster ...
'A Hunger of Thorns is a beautiful, ferocious vine that will work its way inside you and linger. I'll be thinking about it for a long time to come.'
Kate J. Armstrong, author of Nightbirds
'Maude's quest will take you to deep, dark, festering places and bring you soaring back out into the light.'
Margo Lanagan, author of Printz Honor Book Tender Morsels
'A lush, spellbinding tale with dangerously enchanting characters, A Hunger of Thorns is filled with gorgeous emotion and sapphic yearning that will leave you breathless.'
C.S. Pacat, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Rise
'Completely entrancing ... It's full of magic – the real thing. And it's full of feminine power, dark mysteries and unforgettable characters.'
Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling co-author of the Aurora Cycle
