The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic - Leigh Bardugo

The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo

Love speaks in flowers.  Truth requires thorns.

Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid’s voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy’s bidding but only for a terrible price.

This collection of six stories includes three brand-new tales, all of them beautifully illustrated with art by Sara Kipin that changes with each turn of the page, culminating in six stunning full-spread illustrations as rich in detail as the stories themselves.

Inspired by myth, fairy tale, and folklore, No. 1 New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo has crafted a deliciously atmospheric collection of short stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice, and love.

Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans of the Grishaverse.
