He said she belonged to him. He said she would submit. He said she had no choice. Kandis runs from a forced crown and finds something dangerous; hope. But when her kingdom fractures and the past comes hunting, she must return to the palace that nearly broke her. Power can be inherited. Fear can be taught. But vengeance? Vengeance is grown. Thorns for a Tiara is a dark fantasy about control, defiance, and the moment a princess stops surviving... and starts becoming something else entirely.
