The Thorn Crown Pact

By Paul Ester  ·  English

When Elara, a mortal healer with a forbidden gift for speaking to dying magic, is forced into a bargain with Caelen, the feared fae prince of the Thorn Court, she expects cruelty, not fascination. His kingdom is collapsing beneath an ancient curse, the borders between realms are fraying, and only a lost relic known as the Thorn Crown can restore the balance. Bound together by a vow neither can break, Elara and Caelen must cross enchanted forests, ruined moon temples, and courts glittering with lies to find it before war consumes both the human and fae worlds. But the deeper they travel into danger, the more their alliance turns into something far more perilous: desire. As prophecy, betrayal, and blood-bound loyalties tighten around them, Elara must decide whether saving the realm is worth surrendering her heart to a prince whose kiss could either remake her destiny or destroy it.
