What's Happening?
Amber Hamilton is set to debut her first book, 'Seven Deadly Thorns,' with Bloomsbury YA this fall. The novel is described as a gothic, dark academia story inspired by the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White, where True Love's kiss kills instead of resurrects. Hamilton's journey to publication involved overcoming over a hundred rejections for a previous book, leading her to write 'Seven Deadly Thorns' in just two months. The book features elements of fairy tales, such as a prince, magic, an evil queen, and a mirror, but is not a direct retelling. Tattoos play a significant role in the story, reflecting Hamilton's personal interest in them.
