Our summary description
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
Set in 1919, The Thorns Remain unfolds in a Highland village hollowed out by war and influenza. With the young people preparing to leave for work in the south, Moira Jean and her friends gather in the forest for one final night together. Moira Jean alone is staying behind, her own plans ended by the death of her lover in France.
As they dance around a fire, something shifts. Music seems to rise from the trees, and unfamiliar figures weave among them. The Fae have returned, drawn by grief, neglect and a world that has moved on without them. When Moira Jean’s friends vanish, she is left to face the consequences alone.
Led by a charismatic and dangerous Lord, the Fae demand recognition and remembrance. To save her friends, Moira Jean must strike a bargain, racing against time as Beltane approaches. The Thorns Remain blends folklore and history in a haunting story about loss, survival and what happens when the forgotten refuse to stay silent.
