A Lesson in Thorns: Thornchapel, Book 1
Narrated by: Sara Ormenyi
Length: 10 hrs and 15 mins

When librarian Poe Markham takes the job at Thornchapel, she only wants two things: to stay away from Thornchapel’s tortured owner, Auden Guest, and to find out what happened to her mother 12 years ago. It should be easy enough-keep her head down while she works in the house’s crumbling private library and while she hunts down any information as to why this remote manor tucked into the fog-shrouded moors would be the last place her mother was seen alive. But Thornchapel has other plans for her…

As Poe begins uncovering the house’s secrets, both new and old, she’s also pulled into the seductive, elegant world of Auden and his friends-and drawn to Auden’s worst enemy, the beautiful and brooding St. Sebastian. And as Thornchapel slowly tightens its coil of truths and lies around them, Poe, Auden, and St. Sebastian start unraveling into filthy, holy pleasure, and pain. Together, they awaken a fate that will either anoint them or leave them in ashes….

From the author of the USA Today bestselling New Camelot series comes an original fairy tale full of ancient mysteries, lantern-lit rituals, jealousy, money, murder, sacred torment, and obsessions that last for lifetimes….

A Lesson in Thorns is the first of four books in the Thornchapel series.

Feast of Sparks: Thornchapel, Book 2
Narrated by: Sara Ormenyi, Zachary Webber
Length: 12 hrs and 37 mins

Fate wasn’t supposed to have plans for me. I’m an outcast, a loner. The boy named for death who never quite started to live. But then, Poe came back – the girl I once kissed in a thorn-covered chapel in the woods.

She brought back memories long buried, and I could no more resist her than I could pry out my own heart. She brought up secrets and set rituals into motion. She brought me to the man who owns Thornchapel, Auden Guest. And then, she found the bones.

The only thing Auden and I can agree on is Proserpina Markham, and she wants us to find a way to be together – all three of us. But the past casts a long shadow. Eight years ago, I did something terrible to Auden. He hurt me back the only way he knew how. And so here we are. Our hatred seasoned with pain and my loneliness spiked with longing.

If Auden wants to earn her as his submissive, then he has to earn me, as well. That was the promise he made. But with the carnal revel of Beltane fast approaching, it’s becoming clear that Thornchapel’s secrets are much deeper and older than any of us could have ever guessed. They’re making us complicit. And they will have a cost.

Because, no matter how bright and merry a feast of sparks may be, it’s always followed by ashes. And darkness.

Feast of Sparks is book two in the Thornchapel series.

Harvest of Sighs: Thornchapel, Book 3
Narrated by: Emma Roya, Alyssa Avery, Wesleigh Siobhan, Oscar Reyes, Zachary Webber
Length: 15 hrs and 31 mins

The genius and the sunshine girl. As children, we fought bitterly and often, bickering every chance we got. But then we grew up. Then we came back.

Delphine Dansey carries her heart on the outside of her body; she’s looking for love and chasing dreams. She’s spoiled and selfish, the kind of beautiful that’s made for money and fame. But somehow she’s ended up in my keeping: a pretty submissive I can’t seem to resist, a lover who obsesses and tempts me.

I thought I’d locked my heart away a long time ago, along with all my other weaknesses. But some doors won’t stay closed, no matter how hard I fight to keep them shut. She unravels me, just like our friends are unraveling, just like Thornchapel itself is unraveling.

All year long, we’ve been sowing lust and jealousy and pain, heedless of the consequences. But a harvest is inevitable, and so now we must reap our sorrows.

And our sighs.

Harvest of Sighs is the third book in the Thornchapel quartet.

Door of Bruises: Thornchapel, Book 4
Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Oscar Reyes, Wesleigh Siobhan, Alyssa Avery, Emma Roya
Length: 14 hrs and 10 mins

Twelve years ago, our fates were sealed with a kiss.

We are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do us part. My heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian – even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him.

Delphine’s fled back home, and Becket’s holy calling is in peril.

And now only Rebecca and I remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown.

The door is open. The door that shouldn’t exist; the door that people have died to close. I don’t feel like the lord of the manor. I don’t feel like a king or a wild god. I am a friend and a boyfriend and a brother – and a failure at being all of these things. But the door doesn’t care about my guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice I’ll make to close it.

As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of our circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And I must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if I must face it alone.

Here at Thornchapel, all kings must walk to the door.

Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.

Door of Bruises is the fourth and final book in the Thornchapel Quartet.
