Review "This is a lean, cold knife-thrust of a novel, a revenge fantasy anchored on the compelling voice and savage purpose of its titular Prince. There is never a safe moment in Lawrence's debut." -Robert Redick, author of The Red Wolf Conspiracy "Dark and relentless, the Prince of Thorns will pull you under and drown you in story. A two in the morning page turner." -Robin Hobb, author of The Inheritance "Vivid...smooth and compelling... gritty and full of wonder. This book is brilliant." -Galaxy Book Reviews "Disturbing, Beautiful, Chaotic, Poetic, Haunting, Exhilarating." -Fantasy Faction "Without a doubt the most original and most memorable fantasy debut of 2011. It's difficult to imagine how another book could top this one." -RisingShadows.net Product Description A stunning fantasy debut from a major new talent!
