Blackthorn

by Emily Eve

Overview

"A MUST READ!" - Goodreads Review

A brutal head wound left twenty-year-old Bonnie unable to read, write, or speak the languages of the continent.

Nursed back to health and trained as an assassin within the Amlucen rebellion, Bonnie has dedicated her life to removing the tyrannical King Aborn from his throne in order to avenge her murdered family.

When plans to plant damning evidence on the charming Lord Frederick Stonewood goes awry, Bonnie is forced to work alongside her enemy in order to save rebel lives.

But after a battle injury changes everything, how far will she go to learn the truth about the life she lost?

What readers are saying about Blackthorn:

"Blackthorn is an incredible story and took me on a whirlwind adventure!" - Jessica Julien, author of Three Drops of Blood

"Five stars. To say this book lives rent free in my head is a colossal understatement. I am a Sarah J. Maas worshipper, Violent Little Thing lover, Zodiac Academy student, and From Blood Ash I will rise...give me ALL the epic fantasy with a side of dark romance! And Bonnie (and BRONWYN) fit right into these great tomes! Genuinely unclear how I'm going to wait until the next book comes out. In summary...A MUST READ!" - Goodreads Review

"This book was amazing. First time author Emily Eve blew it out of the water! I was hooked from the beginning. Blackthorn is about an assassin who has much to learn about herself - in more ways than one. I would definitely recommend picking up Blackthorn and getting submerged in the amazing world Emily Eve has created. I can't wait for a second book." - Goodreads Review

"Your book is literally my Roman Empire. I think about it all the time -- and I'm not exaggerating." - Reader Review

"Unreal. 10/10" - Reader Review

"I'm obsessed with this book!" - Reader Review

This book was amazing. First time author Emily Eve blew it out of the water! I was hooked from the beginning. Blackthorn is about an assassin who has much to learn about herself- in more ways than one. I would definitely recommend picking up Blackthorn and getting submerged in the amazing world Emily Eve has created. I can't wait for a second book.
