Bitterness is the poison we drink, hoping the other person gets sick.
What if the thorns of betrayal didn't just wound you - what if they poisoned you from the inside?
In the allegorical world of Dragonsback - a vast island realm where spiritual realities are visible - two young brothers, Jason and Kaleb, carry invisible packs on their backs. Inside those packs: razor-sharp thorns, dripping with venom. The thorns of bitterness. Of betrayal. Of grief that refuses to let go.

In the allegorical world of Dragonsback - a vast island realm where spiritual realities are visible - two young brothers, Jason and Kaleb, carry invisible packs on their backs. Inside those packs: razor-sharp thorns, dripping with venom. The thorns of bitterness. Of betrayal. Of grief that refuses to let go.
This is a story about what happens when someone wounds you deeply - and about the only antidote that actually works.
The Poison of Thorns is a Christian allegorical fantasy in the tradition of C.S. Lewis and John Bunyan - but grounded in one family's real experience of betrayal by a church leader. Author Robert Dennis Wilson didn't imagine these wounds. He lived them. So did his wife, his children, and a grandson born with a cleft palate who asked him why God would let him suffer.
Readers will encounter:
- A richly built allegorical world with its own language, clothing codes, and sword-sign customs
- Spiritual warfare made visible and visceral
- A grandfather's tender attempt to help a wounded boy understand forgiveness
- Scripture woven throughout - with footnotes and a hyperlinked Scripture song
- Extensive appendices: glossary, character guide, costume guide, sword-sign dictionary, and biblical references
If you've ever felt poisoned by someone else's wrong - and wondered if you could ever put down that pack of thorns - this book was written for you.
