Thornebound - Paperback

by Mary Louise Scott (Author)

Lyra Ashwyn has always felt out of place. Ordinary life never fit her quite right-the lingering shadows, the way mirrors hesitate before reflecting her face, the faint hum of something just beyond her senses. She chalks it up to being different... until the day the sky stops moving. When a stranger named Rowan Thorne appears, Lyra learns the truth: the world she knows is fragile, held together by a magical barrier called the Veil. And the Veil is breaking. Worse, Lyra carries a power she doesn't understand-a wild, dangerous magic that could save the world... or destroy it. Thrown into a realm of ancient secrets, rival factions, and impossible choices, Lyra must navigate the intoxicating pull of power, the danger of betrayal, and the undeniable attraction she feels toward Rowan. But magic comes with a price, and love may be the most dangerous spell of all. As boundaries between worlds crumble, Lyra must decide who she can trust, what she is willing to sacrifice, and whether the life she's always known is worth saving... or if she's destined to be Thornebound.
