About this ebook

When librarian Poe Markham takes the job at Thornchapel, she only wants two things: to stay away from Thornchapel’s tortured owner, Auden Guest, and to find out what happened to her mother twelve years ago. It should be easy enough—keep her head down while she works in the house’s crumbling private library and while she hunts down any information as to why this remote manor tucked into the fog-shrouded moors would be the last place her mother was seen alive. But Thornchapel has other plans for her...

As Poe begins uncovering the house’s secrets, both new and old, she’s also pulled into the seductive, elegant world of Auden and his friends—and drawn to Auden’s worst enemy, the beautiful and brooding St. Sebastian. And as Thornchapel slowly tightens its coil of truths and lies around them, Poe, Auden and St. Sebastian start unravelling into filthy, holy pleasure and pain. Together, they awaken a fate that will either anoint them or leave them in ashes…

From the author of the USA Today bestselling New Camelot series comes an original fairy tale full of ancient mysteries, lantern-lit rituals, jealousy, money, murder, sacred torment, and obsessions that last for lifetimes...

***A Lesson in Thorns is the first of four books in the Thornchapel series.***

Ratings and reviews

First time I read Priest, I was like wow this author! Its taboo, but the way she write it so beautiful, Priest become my fav book of all time. Then New Camelot series comes. One of the most taboo story ever written about the President, first lady and the vice President. And once again, Sierra Simone write their story so eloquint, I can feel all their angst above their taboo romance. Right to this moment their love story is one of the best in literature. And now, Sierra Simone bring six people with six different characters with tangle feelings, secrets so old, rituals both pagan and religious have long story in it, intense sexual intension goes along with mistical surrounding the Thornchapel and finally... Finally the hottest steamy scenes I have ever read! And it's just book one in a series with four book in it! Once again Sierra Simone brings first class literature where I can see every word she write bring to life. I can smell the rain, the mud, the fire. I can see all the colours. I can feel every touch. And I can feel every angst of every characters in this book.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book for the first few pages but it piqued my curiosity and it kept my interest for the whole book. Just 3 more books to go to find out how it ends.

your books are always wonderful and hot. thanks for the book you made for me. keep up the good work
