Publisher's Summary

Before her death in July 1997, beloved lesbian-feminist author Chris Anne Wolfe published two of her four classic Amazon adventure novels - Shadows of Aggar and Fires of Aggar. These two volumes are only the first half of the Aggar cycle. Chris Anne also published two stand-alone novels, the time-bending romance, Annabel and I, and the retelling of Beauty and the Beast, Roses and Thorns.

The manuscripts of Chris Anne's remaining novels, short stories, poetry, and songs were willed to publisher and friend, Jennifer DiMarco. These hand-written volumes include both remaining Aggar books - Sands of Aggar and Oceans of Aggar - and more than a dozen retold fairy tales and original fantasy and contemporary novels. In 2012, with Rebecca Fitzgerald and Skye Montague, DiMarco launched Amazons Unite, a publishing house dedicated exclusively to Chris Anne's work.

About Roses & Thorns:

A greedy father. A beautiful daughter. A faceless noble. With a word, Aloysius bargains away Angelique's future for a hefty bride-price, and no one, not even Angelique's beloved mother, can save her.

Critic Reviews

"No author could have retold Beauty and the Beast as beautifully as Chris Anne Wolfe. She entices you throughout the story, making your heart pound with each second. At the end, you believe magic is afoot and love is as near to you as your dreams." (Heather Cassell, Bay Area Reporter)
"Wolfe tells the story with a great deal of magic. Amidst fog and darkness and springing white steeds is just about everything a fantasy fan could want: shifting realities of time and space, protective spells, eternal curses, and more." (Lee Lynch, LN)
