Thorns of Fate

THORNS OF FATE by Miranda Howman, the chilling first installment of the Thornforged Chronicles, plunges readers into a brutal world of alchemical power and ruthless ambition, where Elora’s sheltered life at the Miros Institute shatters into a fight for her very soul. Howman’s richly imagined magic system and her gut-wrenching portrayal of Elora’s descent from privileged student to captive weapon create a tension that never lets up, yet it is the bond between Elora and her protector, Tehvan, that is the heart of this dark saga. A harrowing, beautifully written tale of survival and sacrifice, this book is essential reading for fans of morally complex fantasy willing to confront its darkest corners.
