Heart of ThornsA Beauty and the Beast Retelling
She alone can break my curse. She alone can kill me.
No other death for me but her.
Cursed as a child, a lonely beast waits in vain for the one who might rescue him, as the weight of the curse slowly sucks the life from the castle he calls home. Six have come, and six have failed... and he is running out of time.
When a young girl named Rose appears in his realm, and gifts him with a name, Thorn, he quickly finds himself falling for her. But Rose has secrets of her own, and there is a darkness inside the walls of the castle that will stop at nothing to be free once more...
NB: The "equal" to the sumptuous Beauty and the Beast tale, "The Rose and the Thorn." Relive the magic from Thorn's eyes. While the stories can be read in any order, it is recommended that you read "The Rose and the Thorn" before embarking on Thorn's own tale.
Praise for "THE ROSE AND THE THORN":
"You will want to crawl inside the world Macdonald creates."
"Had me completely and utterly entranced."
"Exceptional."
"Breathtaking."
"An elegant, beautiful tale."
"This gothic literature is a masterpiece. It is undeniably one of the best -- and I mean the best -- fairy tales ever written."

Katherine Macdonald
Born in Redditch, England, to a solicitor and an ex-military man, one of Katherine "Kate" Macdonald's earliest memories was of watching her parents disappear behind the pages of a book and wanting to follow them. For her, books were little pocket dimensions that could be carried about, and the safest way to have a very real adventure.
Rather than rebel during her teenage years, she spent most of them locked up in her room, furiously writing down the hundreds of stories filling her head. Her little sister Kirsty served as her primary audience, and first fan. Without her, Macdonald would never have continued to write.
