Summary and Study Guide
Overview
Brynn Weaver’s dark romance, Scythe & Sparrow (2025), is the third and final installment in the Ruinous Love trilogy. Preceded by Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark, the novel combines elements of erotica, violence, and action, alternating between the perspectives of Rose Evans and Fionn Kane to weave the story of their friends-to-lovers romance.
Rose, who tours with the Silveria Circus, first meets Fionn, a doctor, when she breaks her leg and ends up at his clinic. When Rose’s boss insists that she remain behind to recover while the circus returns to the road, Rose stays with Fionn in his Nebraska home. Their evolving relationship inspires the novel’s explorations of The Quest for Home and Belonging, The Redemptive Power of Love, and the journey of Achieving Self-Acceptance through Supportive Relationships.
