# The Thorns

**In this hauntingly twisted tale, an author reconnects with an old boarding school friend, forcing her to reckon with their shared past and the imaginary creature she thought they left behind.**

_Touch a line, you break your spine._

Stacey is the dusty air, the cracked soil, the drought. To thirteen-year-old Bethany Sloane, she's everything.

Abandoned by her mother at a remote African boarding school, Bethany will do anything to stay in Stacey's good graces. And that means learning the rules of each twisted game.

_Touch a crack, you break your back._

Years later, Bethany is a bestselling author. Disabled now, she can't remember what happened back in the bush. But there's no mistaking Stacey Preston's name in her inbox.

_Glassy, glassy, cut my arsey._

That email brings Bethany's childhood rushing back. The Glass Man was just a story the Thorns invented, a game of wits. But every game has its rules--and consequences for breaking them. To stay alive this round, Bethany needs to play right into Stacey's hands.

Dark and disturbing, _The Thorns_ explores the horrifying world of adolescent abuse, controlling friendships, and blinding obsession.
