Twin sorceresses. One Prince Charming. Which sister will win out?
Ambitious young sorceress Rose of Northbrooke is about to graduate. She’s the only known dream sorcerer of her generation and she's a remarkable one. No wonder she has Prince Sebastien, one of the most eligible royals of the realm trailing her skirts.
But when rumours of dream magic gone awry reach her ear, Rose discovers she’s not the only oneiromancer of her generation. And she might not be the most powerful.
In a faraway cottage, Thorn has lived a simple and isolated life. She longs to be part of the world. When she discovers there’s another dream sorceress out there who owns everything Thorn has ever wanted, she hungers even more for all she’s been denied.
When Rose and Thorn meet, the outcome is clear: only one sorceress can live out in the open and claim the prince’s loving hand . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Slowly immersing readers in a romantasy that's part fairy tale, part horror story, and completely entrancing, Lambert returns to the delicious magical world of Never the Roses, where sorcerers are bred and used to benefit the rich. At 20, Rose is a solitary and exceedingly talented oneiromancer, or someone who possesses powerful dream magic. She's rapidly approaching the end of her schooling and the moment she'll need to enter into a blood-bound contract with a wealthy employer. As a seventh son, Prince Sebastien is supremely unlikely to inherit his father's throne and is instead dispatched to Hendricks Academy for Sorcerous Pursuits to train his newly recognized ability to communicate with animals and woo Rose for his father's court. Meanwhile, Thorn, also 20, is held prisoner in a small cottage, the only home she's ever known. It's a Cinderella-like existence, devoted to using her psychometry (the power to detect an object's history via touch) to line the pockets of her neglectful guardian, Jada, and dreaming of the fair-haired prince she once saw in a vision. Thanks to some well-timed twists of fate, the trio's paths explosively converge, shattering their preconceived notions of each other and themselves. The plot is just as tangled as the briars and roses imprisoning Thorn, but sweet romance weaves through even the darkest moments. Lambert's fans will not be disappointed.
