Why read it?
1 author picked The Path of Thorns as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a deliciously dark and devious story about a clever governess bent on revenge trapped in a haunted mansion.

From Jelena's list on folklore and fairy-tale inspired fantasy for dark winter nights.
