For this princess forced under an enchantment, escaping from her spell is only the first ordeal. Claiming the throne is even more dangerous. Princess Rose Amelia has spent a hundred years trapped in a magical garden, surrounded by walls of thorns that protect her from rescuers she never wanted. Nothing ever changes - until the spell twists to threaten her as well, and a prince finally breaks through the thorns. Prince Terrence knows he would never be his father's preference to inherit the throne. But he also knows his oldest brother won't take care of their people, and rescuing the Princess Behind Thorns is the only way he can become heir. He planned on marrying her to claim the inheritance; he didn't plan on falling in love with her. Escaping from the magical garden and returning to court will plunge Terrence and Rose both into a deadly world of politics, intrigue and betrayals. Making a claim to the throne doesn't guarantee it will be accepted, and deciding to marry doesn't mean that they actually can. To protect the country and themselves, they must learn who to trust and who is an enemy - and somehow learn how to admit their feelings for each other too. This fantasy romance, the first in a series, brings a new angle to the story of Sleeping Beauty by starting where most versions end. If you enjoy heroines finding their strength, fantasy worlds with a touch of intrigue, and slightly magical cats, you won't want to miss the Thorns Saga.
"I want to be Gregory, walking through the concrete and asphalt of a grey housing estate on a summer's evening. At least once, I want to be in every one of those places from the film: the corrugated underpass on the way to school, the red ash sports pitches, under the clock in the Plaza."In 1980, a 34 year-old Glaswegian got the chance to turn his first screenplay into a feature film. With a small budget and support from a youth theatre in an area of 'multiple social deprivation', Bill Forsyth made a film which still holds a luminous place in the minds of audiences around the world.This is a book about the singular, unappreciated talent of Forsyth - and the impossibility of Gregory's Girl, how it shouldn't really exist. There's much more to the film's unique formula than a story about first love and football: French New Wave cinema; Vladimir Nabokov; Preston Sturges; the Glasgow Youth Theatre; the new town strangeness of Cumbernauld; and most of all, the magic of ordinary life. "This is a fantastic read about one of the most important Scottish films ever made. We all knew we were involved in something special - but no-one knew just how special."Rab Buchanan (Andy) "A fascinating read...a journey over the rainbow to that magical land of youth."Douglas Sannachan (Billy) "Tim's illuminating book delves into the ephemeral and enigmatic universe of Gregory's Girl and its creator. Contextualised within the zeitgeist of the late '70s and early '80s, it's a compelling read for cinephiles, cultural historians, and, perhaps especially, those people of Scotland whose own coming-of-age experiences were echoed by the much-loved film. It grants us a tantalising wee keek into the ordinary magic of being human."Gerry Clark, director/producer, One For The Album: The Story of the Glasgow Youth Theatre
