About The Book of Thorns
During the Napoleonic Wars, sisters Cornelia and Lijsbeth—separated at birth—inherit mysterious gifts and a flower language from the mother they never knew. Cornelia heals soldiers in Napoleon’s army while Lijsbeth, trapped in servitude, falls for an English soldier. When they meet on opposite sides at Waterloo, they must survive the battle and uncover the truth about their mother’s death.
