Beagle, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning author of The Last Unicorn "A slim and lovely retelling of 'Sleeping Beauty' full of melancholy charm, Thornhedge has a particularly fine flexibility of tone that bends from sweet and shy to tragic and frightening. . . . it's such a pleasure to read, and Toadling and Halim are such delightful characters, that I simply let the story wash over me like Toadling's water magic and enjoyed the ride."--The New York Times " Thornhedge is a true comfort read, in which gentleness endures despite outrageous cruelty."--The Washington Post "T. Kingfisher's delicate, bittersweet style of fantasy is like nothing else on shelves at the moment and, as a result, she's an author whose work I would read without knowing one single fact about it.

Kingfisher. I loved this book so much."--Travis Baldree, N ew York Times bestselling author of Legends & Lattes "Kingfisher's trademark wit and compassion transforms "Sleeping Beauty" into a moving meditation on guilt, grief, and duty, as well as a surprisingly sweet romance between outsiders.

Synopsis
Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novella! From New York Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher, Thornhedge is the tale of a kind-hearted, toad-shaped heroine, a gentle knight, and a mission gone completely sideways. *The very special hardcover edition features a foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.* There's a princess trapped in a tower. This isn't her story. Meet Toadling. On the day of her birth, she was stolen from her family by the fairies, but she grew up safe and loved in the warm waters of faerieland. Once an adult though, the fae ask a favor of Toadling: return to the human world and offer a blessing of protection to a newborn child. Simple, right? But nothing with fairies is ever simple. Centuries later, a knight approaches a towering wall of brambles, where the thorns are as thick as your arm and as sharp as swords. He's heard there's a curse here that needs breaking, but it's a curse Toadling will do anything to uphold... "The way Thornhedge turns all the fairy tales inside out is a sharp-edged delight." --Katherine Addison, author of The Goblin Emperor Also by T. Kingfisher Nettle & Bone A Sorceress Comes to Call What Moves the Dead What Feasts at Night A House with Good Bones
