Silver Thorns is an independent publishing house, founded in 2018. We make romance, thrillers, romcoms, fantasy and nonfiction for readers who want to feel every single page.
It began with one book and one promise: every story we publish has to be worth the late night you give it. Years later, that promise is still the only rule in this house.
Our story
A house built one chapter at a time.
01
Chapter one2018
The first page
Silver Thorns opened its doors with a single romance and a handful of readers who could not put it down. They told their friends, and their friends told theirs. That was all the marketing we had, and it was all we needed.
02
Chapter two
Worlds, not just books
Our readers wanted to stay longer, so we built bigger. Powerful families with dangerous secrets, brothers bound by blood, rivals who should never touch. One book became a series, and every series became a world you can lose a whole weekend in.
03
Chapter three
Stories with a voice
Then we gave our books a voice. Two, in fact. Our audiobooks are narrated with one voice for her and one for him, so every chapter sounds like the person living it. Press play right here, or find us on Spotify.
04
Chapter four
New shelves
Love is where we started, never where we stopped. Thrillers that make you check the locks twice. Romcoms that make you laugh out loud in public. Fantasy with worlds worth getting lost in, and nonfiction that leaves you sharper than it found you.
05
The next chapter
Still unwritten
We are growing into new genres, new formats and new voices, and we are only getting started. Whatever you love to read, a Silver Thorns book is already on its way to you.

The house rules
What we believe
One
Story comes first.
Before the cover, before the title, there is a story that has to work. We edit until it does, then we edit again.
Two
Read it your way.
Ebooks, audiobooks with two narrators, and complete series in a single bundle. Pick the format that fits your night.
Three
Readers lead the way.
Every series we continue and every shelf we open starts with what our readers ask for. Keep asking. We are listening.
