The Magic of Thorns

All sorcerers are evil — Elizabeth knew this practically from birth. Raised in one of the Great Libraries of Austermere, she grew up among magical tools — spellbooks that whisper on the shelves and rattle with iron chains. If provoked, they turn into malefics made of skin and ink.

But when the world is threatened, Elizabeth has nowhere to turn except to her sworn enemy — the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn.

Now they are drawn into a centuries-old conspiracy, and Elizabeth herself begins to doubt everything she was taught — for she possesses a power she never suspected, and a future she could never have imagined.
