From the author of The Isle in the Silver Sea comes a new gothic romantasy tale of a condemned woman who must earn her freedom by destroying the evil sorceress hidden in the cursed city of Moonscarrow.  

When Rohese is convicted of the murder of a prince, she is given the choice of the condemned: execution, or entry into the cursed city of Moonscarrow. If she can find the heart of the Lady of Thorns within the city and pierce it through, she will earn her freedom.

But Moonscarrow is not as she imagined—it is excruciatingly beautiful, haunted by pale wraiths, and filled with dark memories of the Lady of Thorns’ untold past. 

As Rohese grows closer to finding the heart, she begins to question everything she believed about the sorceress and must make her final choice…

Kill the sorceress and save the kingdom—or set her free and watch it burn?
