The Cursed Rose
Synopsis
The wicked Spindle Witch has torn apart the group that fought her across the Bone Spindle duology. Fi is confined to a tower with the monstrous Briar Rose, racing to decode an ancient riddle of the Rose Witches before she loses him forever, while Shane searches for a weapon left behind by the mysterious Lord of the Butterflies, one that might finally be enough to end the Spindle Witch for good.
Shane's love for Red has only deepened, but Red's betrayal has put her within reach of the Wraith, the Spindle Witch's executioner and a threat as powerful as he is cruel. To have any chance of saving the people they love, Fi and Shane must face the long-lost Tomb of Queen Aurora, filled with bone monsters, uneasy new alliances, and secrets that could finally end the curse.
The finale of Leslie Vedder's twisted-fairytale Bone Spindle series.
