She's to become the only Oneiromancer of her generation and a remarkable one - and Rose rises well to the occasion: she's formidably powerful and strikingly beautiful, and has a prince trailing her skirts. But when rumour of oneiromancy gone awry reaches her ear, Rose discovers a secret that wrecks everything she's worked for. A twin sister, deep within the forest, abandoned and hurt, and ready to take everything away from her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a faraway cottage dwells a young woman named Thorn. Although she lives a relatively peaceful life, Thorn's never been allowed further out than the fence made of roses, and she hates when Jada locks her inside the root cellar. Thorn longs to see the world and find a prince to fall in love with. When she learns she has a sister who owns not only her face but everything Thorn lacks - prince and all - her dread of fading away transforms into a hunger that demands everything she was denied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRose and Thorn's encounter sparks more than rivalry. A bond thicker than any strife, shared solely by sisters, tugs at their hearts. They've been isolated their entire lives - Thorn in her cottage and Rose within the gilded cage of expectations - and shouldn't a sister be someone to rely on?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Rose and Thorn's separation was not by chance. Their fates have been carefully planned at the behest of political scheming, and the outcome is clear: only one sister can reap all the glory and claim the prince's hand, condemning the other to a life of perpetual non-existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47550210670828,"sku":"9781035075911","price":31.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781035075911-among-the-thorns.jpg?v=1776800456"},{"product_id":"never-the-roses-by-jennifer-k-lambert-9781035074990","title":"Never the Roses","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnstoppable war.

She's exhausted from fighting the endless wars of kings and queens, and has long accepted that her death is near. Alone at last but for a few uninvited companions - a near-mythical wolf, a goddess's avatar, and a feline that embodies magic itself - Oneira realises that she's bored. On a whim, or perhaps at the behest of fate, she makes an unlikely trip to the most extensive library in existence: the home of her most powerful rival, the sorcerer Stearanos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy recklessly stealing a book from him, Oneira inadvertently initiates a forbidden correspondence.
