Thorn Season

By: Kiera Azar

Narrated by: Suzy Jackson

The instant #1 New York Times bestseller!

Shadow and Bone meets The Selection in this first book in Kiera Azar's sharp, sexy, and twisty debut YA romantasy trilogy!

“Dark, sexy, and completely addictive, romantasy lovers will devour Azar’s Thorn Season. With epic betrayals, shocking twists, and delicious tension, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. An absolute thrill of a novel.”—Rachel Griffin, New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches

In the Kingdom of Daradon, a persecuted few are Wielders, in possession of a magical Spectre–a shimmering thread that can extend beyond their visible body to give a loving caress, pick a lock . . . even kill. Feared for this ability, Wielders have always been Hunted.

Alissa Paine, heiress and daughter of a Hunter family . . . is also a Wielder. At eighteen, Alissa knows she’s escaped execution thus far only due to painful self-control and the efforts of her beloved father.

Summoned to the harsh and glittering royal court for the debutante season, Alissa finds herself caught in a web of intrigue and betrayal—and caught between two equally dangerous men: one a brutal ruler with the handsome face of a fairy-tale prince, who would destroy her if he knew the truth—and the other a beguiling foreign ambassador with secret agendas of his own.

With the threat of discovery lurking around every corner—and romance becoming an increasingly dangerous temptation—Alissa will find that she has more to lose than her secrets. It’s Rose Season at the palace, but to survive she’ll need to become the most vicious of thorns. . . .

Fantastic start to an epic series

I was honestly scared at first because the first half of the book was slow to me. But when the story picked up, it truly PICKED UP! I was immersed in the story and fell in love with the characters. I can’t wait for the second book.

I loved it!

I thought it was a great book, I like how it was more focused on the plot than just a romantic relationship. I’m so excited to read the next book when it comes out

So good!

Loved every minute of this book! The ending had me on my feet I was so anxious lol I can’t wait for book two.

Slow go but worth the wait

About 2 or 3 hours from the ending it picks up really a unique world and I love the characters!!! FMC is really unique and my toxic trait is I kinda like Erik. Even through it all!!!

the best book I've ever read.

I loved the way this story was told and how engaging it was. I had to buy the audiobook and listen again with my fiance to share the story. we can't wait to read more!
