Three years after her first journey to Silicat, eight-year-old Rose dreams of returning, but her dreams have turned uneasy.
Shadows whisper her name. Figures reach for her through the dark.
In the waking world, her father, Wesley, struggles to publish the story they once lived. The publishers love the tale but want to change it-remove the grief, soften the truth, make it more marketable. To him, it feels like losing Silicat all over again in his heart.
When Rose's nightmares begin to mirror real events, she realises the connection runs deeper. In Silicat, a neighbouring kingdom has declared war, hiring a ruthless band of mercenaries known as The Thorns to seize the Sceptre of Creation, and to capture her.
As battle tears the two worlds apart, Rose must trust an unlikely ally and fight for both realities: the world of her imagination and the emotional truth her father refuses to let die.
A rose's beauty must shine above its thorns, as a young girl faces the obstacles that threaten everything she holds dear.
