From the internationally bestselling author of Vespertine comes a heart-stopping new sequel novella to the breathtaking fantasy Sorcery of Thorns. This is the perfect read for fans of Cassandra Clare, Sarah J. Maas's A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES series, and Holly Black! Elisabeth Scrivener is finally settling into her new life with sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn. Now that their demon companion Silas has returned, so has scrutiny from nosy reporters hungry for gossip about the city's most powerful sorcerer and the librarian who stole his heart. But something strange is afoot at Thorn Manor: the estate's wards, which are meant to keep their home safe, are acting up and forcibly trapping the Manor's occupants inside. Surely it must be a coincidence that this happened just as Nathaniel and Elisabeth started getting closer to one another . . . ? With no access to the outside world, Elisabeth and Nathaniel have to work together to discover the source of the magic before they're due to host the city's Midwinter Ball. Faced with a house filled with unexpected secrets, the couple will have to lean on their connection like never before to set things right before it's too late . . .

"I love this! Every ship would hope to have a matchmaker like Silas. This whole book was so hysterical, especially since the entire plot revolved around Elizabeth and Nathaniel, getting engaged and everyone in the house, including the house itself, plotting to make them own up to their feelings. It was such a silly little entertaining story."
"YALL. I F*CKING LOVE SILAS SO MUCH. I don’t care that he’s a super scary demon to me he is a lovely and caring demon who deserves all the hugs. <br/><br/>It was such a joy to be back in Rogerson’s world of magical libraries. Seeing Elisabeth and Nathaniel again was so much fun, I hope their story is one Rogerson continues to feel compelled to share!<br/><br/>Thank you to Edelweiss for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review."

"A charming edition to Margaret Rogerson's Sorcery of Thorns, in which a particular demon (<i> *cough cough* </i> Silas <i> *cough cough* </i>) with exquisite manners, tricks the unsuspecting Nathaniel Thorn and Elisabeth Scrivener into a proper courtship. <br/><br/>Full of the vivid and creative imagery that fans of Margaret Rogerson's work, such as myself, have come to know and love, this quick novella features adorable and heartwarming, makes-you-want-to-believe-in-true-love dates between Nathaniel and Elisabeth, a suit of haunted armor, and stunning (as per usual) details of Elisabeth working with long forgotten grimoires. <br/><br/>Oh, and there's a bit of a battle between the pair and...a wardrobe of haunted clothing unleashed on the manor. As expected, this new installment into Margaret Rogerson's worlds only leaves me scouring the internet for any sliver of news on any potential future novels (or novellas), whether in this world or a completely new story."
"3.5 ⭐️<br/>It’s cute—just not to the level of the original."
