Thorns in Their Hearts is a darkly gothic reimagining of fairytales, told through the chorus of four whispering roses-Ravenna, Hyacinth, Mortelle, and Nocteur-each voice layered with cruelty, sorrow, mockery, and solemnity. When Eowyn's father bargains her into a cursed castle to spare his life, she arrives alone, carrying a rose that is more than mere flower-it is a tether, a witness, a key to the unfolding curse.
The castle is alive, breathing and bending with shadow and stone, and the Beast who dwells within, Bastion, is a man made vessel by his own sorrow, longing, and rage. Yet the curse has room for another: Eowyn, strong, curious, and proud, begins to bloom in the darkness, her defiance and ambition reshaping not only the castle, but the hearts and minds of all who dwell near it.
Through whispered narration by the four roses, the story unfolds in layers of blood, shadow, and inevitability. Eowyn's growth is both tragic and terrifying, her power bending land, people, and even the natural world to her will. Bastion kneels, the castle trembles, and distant kingdoms whisper her name, as she rises fully into her bloom-the Queen of Thorns, terrifying, beautiful, and eternal.
A lyrical, gothic tale of ambition, desire, and the intoxicating, inevitable power of curiosity and pride.
