About Blackthorn Books
Blackthorn Books, LLC is the publisher named on print and audio editions of Rina Kent's dark romance novels from the early 2020s, including hardcovers and special edition prints.
Bookseller records credit Blackthorn Books with Kent titles such as a hardcover of Red Thorns, the first book of her Thorns Duet, and a 2022 hardcover Empire of Desire: Special Edition Print. OverDrive gives the publisher of the Red Thorns audiobook as "Rina Kent, Blackthorn Books LLC", which ties the name closely to the author's own list. The sources consulted do not say who runs the company or where it is based.
Kent's more recent print editions come from larger houses. In 2025 Bloom Books issued a paperback boxed set of the first three Legacy of Gods novels, God of Malice, God of Pain and God of Wrath, and her official website links United States readers to Bloom Books and readers in the United Kingdom and Australia to Penguin.
