Girl, Serpent, Thorn is an alluring feminist fairy tale ( Kirkus Reviews ) about a Girl cursed to be poisonous to the touch and who discovers what power might lie in such a curse.
Princess or monster..
Soraya thought she knew her place in the world, but when her choices lead to consequences she never imagined, she begins to question who she is and who she is becoming...human or demon.
And above is a young man who isn\'t afraid of her, whose eyes linger not with fear, but with an understanding of who she is beneath the poison.
Below in the dungeon is a demon who holds knowledge that she craves, the answer to her freedom.
As the day of her twin brother\'s wedding approaches, Soraya must decide if she\'s willing to step outside of the shadows for the first time.
But for Soraya, who has lived her life hidden away, apart from her family, safe only in her gardens, it\'s not just a story.
There was and there was not, as all stories begin, a princess cursed to be poisonous to the touch.
