Maiden of Silk and Thorn

Seville Fernglove has spent decades as her family's perfectly poised rose, an immortal Ever handling the politics of rival houses on behalf of her brother Rorik. Now she wants a life of her own choosing. Then there is Kara Embergrave: beautiful, dangerous, forever turning up when Seville is most exposed, and bound to Zeverin Embergrave, the Ferngloves' fiercest rival, whose dirty work she runs across Glaes.

Maxym M. Martineau returns to Glaes for a stand-alone sapphic romantasy with a Bonnie and Clyde streak, as one more collision sweeps Seville into a reckless, blood-soaked chase across the continent. Polish meets defiance, ancient magic hums beneath it all, and a slow burn kept smouldering through years of denial finally catches. For anyone who likes their romance with sharp edges and their heroines with thorns.
