Combining the sorcery of The Night Circus with the malefic suspense
of A Secret History, Thorn Jack is a spectacular, modern retelling of
the ancient Scottish ballad, Tam Lin--a beguiling fusion of love,
fantasy, and myth that echoes the imaginative artistry of the works of
Neil Gaiman, Cassandra Clare, and Melissa Marr.
In the wake of her older sister's suicide, Finn Sullivan and her father
move to a quaint town in upstate New York. Populated with socialites,
hippies, and dramatic artists, every corner of this new place holds
bright possibilities--and dark enigmas, including the devastatingly
attractive Jack Fata, scion of one of the town's most powerful families.
As she begins to settle in, Finn discovers that beneath its pretty,
placid surface, the town and its denizens--especially the Fata
family--wield an irresistible charm and dangerous power, a tempting and
terrifying blend of good and evil, magic and mystery, that holds
dangerous consequences for an innocent and curious girl like Finn.
To free herself and save her beloved Jack, Finn must confront the
fearsome Fata family . . . a battle that will lead to shocking secrets
about her sister's death.
