Tower of Thorns by Juliet Marillier
Series: Blackthorn & Grim #2
Publication Date: November 3, 2015
Genre: Fantasy
Synopsis: Disillusioned healer Blackthorn and her companion, Grim, have settled in Dalriada to wait out the seven years of Blackthorn’s bond to her fey mentor, hoping to avoid any dire challenges. But trouble has a way of seeking out Blackthorn and Grim.
Lady Geiléis, a noblewoman from the northern border, has asked for the prince of Dalriada’s help in expelling a howling creature from an old tower on her land—one surrounded by an impenetrable hedge of thorns. Casting a blight over the entire district, and impossible to drive out by ordinary means, it threatens both the safety and the sanity of all who live nearby. With no ready solutions to offer, the prince consults Blackthorn and Grim.
As Blackthorn and Grim begin to put the pieces of this puzzle together, it’s apparent that a powerful adversary is working behind the scenes. Their quest is about to become a life and death struggle—a conflict in which even the closest of friends can find themselves on opposite sides.

Why I want this book:
- The first book in the series–Dreamer’s Pool–was one of my favorite books of 2014.
- This second book sounds great.
- I can’t wait to read more about both Blackthorn and Grim.
- I love the cover.

I picked this one too! When I saw the cover go up on Goodreads my jaw dropped – it’s soo pretty. Sounds like this one might have a slightly different setting, and I’m excited to learn more about the different regions of Dalriada.

Oh, phew, it’s not coming out until November. That will give me time to read Dreamer’s Pool (which I got as a gift for Christmas.) 🙂
