Welcome to Litsy!

Ivy Hawthorne is certain of one thing: she's a complete freak. Quiet, intelligent, and a little odd, Ivy has always felt like an outsider at Kingston Academy, a private boarding school in the middle of nowhere. Maybe it's because she sees auras that reveal people's moods and motives. Or it could be the connection she feels with the animals that watch her from beyond the school's iron gate. It could also be her ethereal complexion and glass green eyes. Perhaps it's because sometimes, her dreams play out in reality. And let's not forget about the fact that her mother is institutionalized for a mental illness. But even for Ivy, things have gone from strange to downright bizarre. The animals have started following her. Strangers have been watching her. And when she gets angry or upset, inexplicable things are bound to happen. But the craziest thing of all is the sudden arrival of Barrett Forbes, a dark, mysterious transfer student who finds her abilities fascinating and causes her to question who-and what-she really is. The more Ivy gets to know Barrett, the more she learns about the dark truth behind her lonely, isolated childhood. As she digs deeper into her past, Ivy discovers the shocking truth about her family and where her true destiny lies. Filled with magic, romance, and mystery, The Thorn Princess is the first book in Bekah Harris' captivating new series, The Iron Crown Faerie Tales. Purchase your copy today.
