Synopsis

Twelve years ago, our fates were sealed with a kiss.We are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do us part. My heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian - even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him.Delphine's fled back home, and Becket's holy calling is in peril.And now only Rebecca and I remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown.The door is open. The door that shouldn't exist; the door that people have died to close. I don't feel like the lord of the manor. I don't feel like a king or a wild god. I am a friend and a boyfriend and a brother - and a failure at being all of these things. But the door doesn't care about my guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice I'll make to close it.As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of our circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And I must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if I must face it alone.Here at Thornchapel, all kings must walk to the door.Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.Door of Bruises is the fourth and final book in the Thornchapel quartet.Content notes for the Thornchapel series can be found at thesierrasimone.com/contentnotes

Goodreads review by PP's on November 24, 2020

Sometimes in my reader life, I come across stories those make me feel I am unworthy of such genius. So much is the depth and diversity and impact of the story. Thornchapel series and its magnanimous ending, Door of Bruises is such a creation by Sierra Simone. An intricate, surreal and otherworldly t......more

Goodreads review by Jean on November 28, 2020

Sierra Simone is a cruel mistress and I am completely, utterly ensorcelled and devastated. To worship at the altar of her words is to know the hurt that heals, the heart that yearns, the soul that seethes with forbidden appetites. Thornchapel is a cathedral to all that is Sierra Simone. She is a sor......more

Goodreads review by AtenRa on December 28, 2022

1st re-read I admit, I didn't like the ending when I first read Door of Bruises. I felt it was not well thought out and a bit cringe, to be honest. I still feel the same after the re-read. I would have much rather preferred for Auden and Saint to stay together until the end of their days, and Poe to......more

Goodreads review by Ashlee » libraryinthecountry on December 14, 2020

I am wrecked, but also completely sated. We shall call this the Auden Guest Treatment, folks. This story is wild and magical and atmospheric and at times so desperately longing to break free from the pages that contain it, it’s impossible to truly encapsulate everything I feel after finishing it.
