Description

The Thorns We Inherit is a lush dark gothic fantasy by Lindsey A. Hart, weaving haunting worldbuilding, goddess-blessed magic, and an aching slow-burn romance into a story of legacy, devotion, and survival. Perfect for fans of Sarah A. Parker, Rachel Gillig, and Hannah Whitten—and for readers drawn to blood bargains, meddling gods, political intrigue, and love in all its dangerous forms.

Aurelia Moirae would bargain with gods to save her brother. Unfortunately, the gods are listening.

Her search for a way to keep the last of her family alive leads her to Nyxarra—a city of blood bargains, buried power, and dangerous truths about the legacy she inherited.

Caught between a beautiful monster who wants something from her and a haunted warrior who asks for nothing, Aurelia must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice for the people she loves.

The thorns we inherit do not ask permission. They only ask what we are willing to bleed for.

About the Author

Lindsey A. Hart, author of The Thorns We Inherit, has been reading, writing and telling stories for as long as she can remember. Originally from the Midwest, she now lives in Southern California with her son, partner, and two cats. When she's not mom-ing, working in tech, or reheating her coffee, she writes dark gothic fantasy and emotionally driven stories full of magic, tension, and characters who don't always make the right choices-but she loves them anyway.
