Overview
Una fantasía juvenil feminista repleta de imaginación. Un reino oscuro en el que solo las mujeres pueden poseer magia, y cada mujer es sospechosa de poseerla.
En el antiguo reino del río, Mia Rose ha dedicado su vida a perseguir a Gwrrach, una mujer capaz de manipular la carne, los huesos, la respiración y la sangre. La misma mujer que asesinó a su madre sin ni un solo rasguño.
Pero cuando el padre de Mia anuncia una alianza con la familia real, ella se verá forzada a intercambiar sus cuchillos y sus pantalones por un suntuoso vestido de seda. Determinada a forjar su propio camino, Mia planifica un escape peligroso, pero nunca fue capaz de prever la más grande de todas las traiciones posibles: su propio cuerpo. Mia posee la magia que había jurado destruir.
Ahora, mientras ella desenreda los secretos de su pasado, tendrá que aprender a confiar en su corazón… aun cuando este pueda matarla.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Inventive and heart-racing, this fierce feminist teen fantasy from debut author Bree Barton explores a dark kingdom in which only women can possess magic—and every woman is suspected of having it.
Fans of Leigh Bardugo and Laini Taylor won’t want to miss this gorgeously written, bold novel, the first in the Heart of Thorns trilogy.
In the ancient river kingdom, where touch is a battlefield and bodies the instruments of war, Mia Rose has pledged her life to hunting Gwyrach: women who can manipulate flesh, bones, breath, and blood. The same women who killed her mother without a single scratch.
But when Mia's father announces an alliance with the royal family, she is forced to trade in her knives and trousers for a sumptuous silk gown. Determined to forge her own path forward, Mia plots a daring escape, but could never predict the greatest betrayal of all: her own body. Mia possesses the very magic she has sworn to destroy.
Now, as she untangles the secrets of her past, Mia must learn to trust her heart…even if it kills her.
