Rose Red

Thorns #2

by Amanda M. Blake

Hair as black as night, skin as white as bone, lips as red as blood...
Just because the princess wakes up doesn't mean she's saved.

After Sylvaine and the Sleeping Kingdom awaken from their enchantments, the Hunter Brotherhood struggles to help the cursed population adjust to life in the modern world.

But when Sylvaine turns up in New York City with no explanation, then goes missing, the search leads Olivia, Griffin, and companions old and new deeper into even darker stories, more grim tales with endings that hadn't gone as planned.

From giant rats to stolen hearts, it turns out saving princesses isn't as simple as a kiss.

Series Advisory: Scenes of sexual and physical assault, violence, and torture. Because fairy tales can sometimes be gruesome and grim.

500 pages, Paperback
