The House of Binding Thorns

The multi-award-winning author of The House of Shattered Wings continues her
Dominion of the Fallen saga as Paris endures the aftermath of a devastating
arcane war . . .

As the city rebuilds from the onslaught of sorcery that nearly destroyed it,
the great Houses of Paris, ruled by fallen angels, still contest one another
for control over the capital.

House Silverspires was once the most powerful, but just as it sought to rise
again, an ancient evil brought it low. Phillippe, an immortal who escaped the
carnage, has a singular goal - to resurrect someone he lost. But the cost of
such magic might be more than he can bear.

In House Hawthorn, Madeleine the alchemist has had her addiction to angel
essence savagely broken. Struggling to live on, she is forced on a perilous
diplomatic mission to the underwater dragon kingdom - and finds herself in the
midst of intrigues that have already caused one previous emissary to
mysteriously disappear . . .

As the Houses seek a peace more devastating than war, those caught between new
fears and old hatreds must find strength - or fall prey to a magic that seeks
to bind all to its will.
