“An exquisitely wrought folktale for our age. Tasha Suri speaks with nuanced voice to societal wounds of division, our desperate need for story, and the vividness of love for its own sake. A masterful, mournful, beautiful mosaic of a tale, The Lady of Thorns will stay with you long after you close its pearlescent pages. I savored every last word.”—T. G. Laine, author of The Mage and the Liar Knight
"I emerged from this book feeling like I’d lived a dozen lifetimes in the blink of an eye. Folklore nerds will revel.

Suri crafts a rich, atmospheric world steeped in faerie bargains and medieval folklore and uses her magic system to explore themes of colonial erasure and who gets to control their own narrative. Suri’s gorgeous prose and inventive premise create an immersive experience. Readers craving sapphic fantasy with folkloric elements will find this hits the spot."—Publishers Weekly on The Isle in the Silver Sea
"The Isle In The Silver Sea has an anachronistic fairy tale vibe that sets it apart. If the doomed lovers premise wasn’t already aching and beautiful, it’s also sapphic."—People Magazine on The Isle in the Silver Sea
