In the brutal Kingdom of Night, Thorns are living weapons of blood magic and blade, elite warriors forged in brutal training and bound by dark ancient rituals. Some men become Thorns for the glory, others for a steady meal. And some do it to bury a blood-drenched past.
Facing execution for murder, brothers Saint Daven and Saint Galen enlist in exchange for the Thorns’ blanket pardon. But they soon learn they’ve traded the hangman’s noose for a slower, more certain death. Deployed to fight for a rebellious lord, the brothers find themselves on the front lines of an uprising.
In a land ruled by an iron-fisted tyrant and blessed by bloodthirsty gods, rebellion is more than treason. It is a death sentence.
BROKEN THORNS is a standalone gritty, high-stakes Sword & Sorcery novel set in THE STRONG GODS universe.
