Enter the Grishaverse...

Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only for a terrible price.

Inspired by myth, fairy tale, and folklore, #1 New York Times-bestselling author Leigh Bardugo has crafted a deliciously atmospheric collection of short stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice, and love.

Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans, these tales will transport you to lands both familiar and strange—to a fully realized world of dangerous magic that millions have visited through the novels of the Grishaverse.


There are many reasons why I've been looking forward to the release of The Language of Thorns, but none so  much as my general appreciation for Leigh Bardugo's knack for writing non-traditional fairy tales. 

As someone who grew up on a steady diet of Chinese fairy tales, where snakes turned into humans, monkeys outwitted gods, and archers shot down suns, it is comforting to know that there are still writers who can take the seemingly ordinary from our day-to-day lives, and turn them into the extraordinary worlds that Bardugo creates. It's especially appreciated in our current climate, where the day-to-day news can often feel overwhelming, and Bardugo's worlds can bring us to a place where we can take a temporary respite. 

Bardugo innately understands that the characters of her worlds aren't perfect - many of them are flawed, and deeply so - but it's those flaws that seek them to work harder, seek higher and do better, leading to some of the most intriguing narrative of The Language of Thorns. 

I can't wait for all of you to read this book, and you can beginning today!
