"A beautiful, brutal sapphic fantasy reminiscent of your favourite fairy tales, The Thorns We Wear Inside will indeed sink its thorns into you." —L.R. Lam, Sunday Times bestselling author of Dragonfall

For fans of For the Wolf and Nettle & Bone comes a dark, romantic fantasy about a witch, a monster, and the two parasitic demons who’ll stop at nothing to keep them apart.


Raye is cursed. Living things crumble at her touch, drained by the demon who clings to her like a shadow. No wonder the townsfolk want her dead. Tormented and pursued, she seeks shelter in a mysterious castle.

The castle is an eerie place. Its residents lie trapped in time like flies in amber, all save one. Mir has a demon of her own, one that forces her to seek blood. When the two women begin to unravel their curses with the castle’s trove of magic, their demons unite, refusing to let their hosts escape. Perhaps even more dangerously, Mir can bear Raye’s poisonous touch: the first caress either of them has felt in years.

As monster hunters close in on the castle, Raye and Mir will have to break the binds of their twisted quadrangle before the past catches up with them.

Seductive and cinematic, this dark fantasy has teeth. Step into the castle. If you dare.

Featuring our favorite romantasy tropes: “will kill anyone but you,” love quadrangle, morally grey, forbidden love, villain romance, forced proximity, poisonous touch, dark allure, redemption through love.
