She agreed to marry her enemy to save her dying court. She didn’t expect to want him.
Princess Elara of the Moonshroud Court has spent decades holding her people together with shadow magic and unyielding will. When the Wellspring of All Magic begins to fail, she is forced into an unthinkable alliance: a political marriage to Crown Prince Cassian of the Ember Court—her court’s most feared enemy.
Cassian is dangerous, shaped by a power he struggles to control and a past that haunts him. Bound by duty and an ancient force neither fully understands, their union is meant to restore balance to a dying world.
But when their magics collide, something long forgotten begins to awaken.
The true danger is not the failing Wellspring or the tensions between their courts—it is the slow, undeniable pull growing between them. A bond that could heal what is broken… or destroy everything they are sworn to protect.
Crown of Thorns is an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance featuring a political marriage, rising tension, and a richly woven world of rival courts.
