Description

A gothic horror retelling of The Juniper Tree, set in a city where magic is giving way to industry, Marlinchen and her sisters are little more than a tourist trap, using archaic remedies to beguile clients. As they try to survive their abusive wizard father's rule, they sneak out at night to enjoy the city's amenities, including a recently established ballet theater where Marlinchen meets a dancer who captures her heart. As Marlinchen's late-night trysts grow more fervent, so does the threat of her father's rage and magic. A monster lurks in the city, born of intolerance and resentment, and suffused with old-world power. Caught between history and progress, blood and desire, Marlinchen must draw upon her own magic to keep her city safe and find her place within it. With its dark fantasy elements and themes of identity, abuse, and self-discovery, Juniper and Thorn is a gripping and atmospheric read.
