About the Book

The shattering conclusion to Bree Barton’s Heart of Thorns trilogy challenges why we grieve, whom we love—and how to mend a broken heart in this epic fantasy finale. This fiercely feminist YA series is a must-read for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Laini Taylor!

Prince Quin has returned to the river kingdom, ready to spearhead a rebellion and reclaim the throne. He vows to destroy Mia, Pilar, and Angelyne if they oppose him—even if he must use his newfound magic to set the world aflame.

Across the four kingdoms, the world strains as its elemental magic is tipped askew. Volcanoes erupt, glaciers collapse, and cities sink into the western sands. After losing Angie, Mia and Pilar journey to the glass kingdom to seek help, though soon their fragile bonds of sisterhood begin to fray.

Mia’s sensations are creeping back, and with them, a searing grief. Pilar, terrified of being broken by her past trauma, once again seeks comfort in her fists. But when they hear rumors of a misty island that promises to erase all pain, they suddenly find themselves with an answer—if they are willing to pay the cost. 

  • A Shattered Sisterhood: After losing their sister Angie, Mia and Pilar must rely on each other, but Mia’s returning grief and Pilar’s terror threaten to tear their fragile bond apart for good.
  • A Prince Bent on Revenge: Betrayed and left for dead, Prince Quin has discovered a dangerous new magic and a thirst for vengeance. He’ll reclaim his throne, even if he has to burn the world—and the sisters—to do it.
  • A World on the Brink of Collapse: Across the four kingdoms, volcanoes erupt and cities sink as the very elements fall into chaos, pushing the world to the edge of destruction.
  • A Desperate Hope: When rumors of a mysterious island that can erase all pain offer a tempting escape, Mia and Pilar must decide if forgetting is worth the ultimate price.
  • The Epic Conclusion: Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Laini Taylor, this final installment in the Heart of Thorns trilogy is a must-read, fiercely feminist fantasy about grief, love, and healing.

Reviews

Praise for Tears of Frost: “Magic and sisterhood intertwine in the high-stakes sequel to Heart of Thorns. A thoughtful examination of agency, female empowerment, and the history of magic.”
Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Heart of Thorns: “A fantastical feminist fairy tale. Full of love, mystery, sisterhood, and severed hands, Heart of Thorns casts a fierce and magical spell.”
Stephanie Garber, New York Times bestselling author of Caraval and Legendary

“A compulsively readable fantasy.” — Booklist

“Barton weaves a girl-powered tale of love, family, and self-acceptance, and readers who appreciate fast paced, high-stakes fantasy will be ensnared by Mia’s adventures. Those looking for rich world-building will also find much to love. A must-buy for any library where fantasy is popular.” — School Library Journal

“[An] evocative, epic ode to feminism, magic, and the wonder of fairy tales… A gripping, complex narrative balances emotion and logic in this trilogy opener, while vividly crafted characters and cinematic details create a world readers will want to get lost in.” — Publishers Weekly
