 Book Review: Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher Buy Thornhedge here - U.S. | U.K. Official Author Website OFFICIAL BOOK INFORMATION:  Thornhedge is the tale of a kind-hearted, toad-shaped heroine, a gentle knight, and a mission gone completely sideways. There's a princess trapped in a tower. This isn't her story. Meet Toadling.

He's heard there's a curse here that needs breaking, but it's a curse Toadling will do anything to uphold… OFFICIAL AUTHOR INFORMATION:  T. Kingfisher is the vaguely absurd pen-name of Ursula Ve...
