- Baker & Taylor
Soraya, a princess cursed to be poisonous to the touch, has lived eighteen years in the shadows but as her twin brother's wedding approaches, she faces choices with unimaginable consequences. - Baker & Taylor
Cursed to be poisonous to the touch, Princess Soraya endures a life in seclusion before making fateful decisions about her twinâs upcoming wedding, a young man who is not afraid of her and a demon who holds the answers she seeks. - McMillan Palgrave
Melissa Bashardoust's Girl, Serpent, Thorn is âan alluring feminist fairy taleâ (Kirkus) about a girl cursed to be poisonous to the touch and who discovers what power might lie in such a curse.
There was and there was not, as all stories begin, a princess cursed to be poisonous to the touch. But for Soraya, who has lived her life hidden away, apart from her family, safe only in her gardens, itâs not just a story.
As the day of her twin brotherâs wedding approaches, Soraya must decide if sheâs willing to step outside of the shadows for the first time. Below in the dungeon is a demon who holds knowledge that she craves, the answer to her freedom. And above is a young man who isnât afraid of her, whose eyes linger not with fear, but with an understanding of who she is beneath the poison.
Soraya thought she knew her place in the world, but when her choices lead to consequences she never imagined, she begins to question who she is and who she is becoming...human or demon. Princess or monster.
