A vivid masterpiece. -- Nadine Brandes, author of Romanov and Fawkes
A beautifully written, fantastical page-turner. -- Kirkus Reviews
Deeply engaging and piercing. An illustration that courage and strength can be found in unexpected places and in unexpected people. -- Nafiza Azad, author of The Candle and the Flame
Perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and Sorcery of Thorns, this exhilarating, page-turning fantasy will pull readers into a lush and stunning world where nothing--and no one--can be trusted.
I did not choose this fate. But I will not walk away from it.
Children have been disappearing from across Menaiya for longer than Amraeya ni Ansarim can remember. When her friend's sister is snatched, Rae knows she can't look away any longer--even if that means seeking answers from the royal court, where her country upbringing and clubfoot will only invite ridicule.
Yet the court holds its share of surprises. There she discovers an ally in the foreign princess, who recruits her as an attendant. Armed with the princess's support, Rae seeks answers in the dark city streets, finding unexpected help in a rough-around-the-edges street thief with secrets of his own.
But treachery runs deep, and the more Rae uncovers, the more she endangers the kingdom itself.
Praise for Intisar Khanani's Thorn:
Set in a dark and dangerous world. Well-written and dramatically told, teens will find much to love in a novel in which the princess grows to become a force to be reckoned with. --School Library Journal (starred review)
Khanani beautifully crafts Alyrra's quiet but clear journey of self-definition. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review)
