What is The Castle Behind Thorns about?

Stories dont know everything. When Sand wakes up alone in a long-abandoned castle, he has no idea how he got there. The stories all said the place was ruined by an earthquake, and Sand did not expect to find everything inside torn in half or slashed to bits. Nothing lives here and nothing grows, except the vicious, thorny bramble that prevents Sand from leaving. Why wasnt this in the stories? To survive, Sand does what he knows besthe fires up the castles forge to mend what he needs. But the things he fixes work somehow better than they ought to. Is there magic in the mending? Or have the saints who once guarded this place returned? When Sand finds the castles lost heir, Perrotte, they begin to untwine the dark secrets that caused the destruction. Putting together the piecesof stone and iron, and of a broken lifeis harder than Sand ever imagined, but its the only way to regain their freedom. With gorgeous language and breathtaking magic, Merrie Haskells The Castle Behind Thorns tells of the power of memory, story, forgiveness, and the true gifts of craft and imagination.
