Thorns and roses??

The original title said Thorns and More Thorns but the editor changed it last minute.

Rhetorically, that would be a juxtaposition: the thorns are the unpleasant part that will hurt you if you're careless, the roses are the desirable part that people risk getting stung by the thorns for, the symbol of romance and love.

This is a court of pain and pleasure; chance and courage; dangerous, reckless love.

Idk if that actually describes the book, but it's how the title works.
