Thorn of the Rose - Claudia Blood - Bog

With the town magic gone awry, one undead woman must uncover the truth before it kills them all...

Rose Callahand's life is full of secrets-including her own past.

Now her hometown of Hope-spared from the cataclysmic Merge three hundred years ago by four wizards-is in peril.

The magic that protects it under a shield is warping, harming those it was meant to
protect.

Rose is entrusted with a magical necklace, which if reunited with its sister necklace
on the other side of the shield would remove the protective barrier and banish the twisted magic.

Her mission fails, the necklace lost, but her memories are unlocked, bringing to light a staggering secret-Rose is undead.

With someone working against her and her friends on their quest to save the city, Rose must discover the hidden truths and unravel the twisted magic threatening everyone.

Or "die" trying...

Thorn of the Rose is the standalone, second book in the thrilling Merged Series. Fall into a world of magic and mortals and unlock the secrets people have died to keep hidden...
