Hi everyone!
I'm so excited (and honestly a little nervous) to share THE THORNED CROWN as its very first story published and im sharing it on Wattpad! It's been a huge step for me. Months of ideas, rewrites, doubts, and breakthroughs, and I may finally see it out in the world feels surreal.
If you decide to give it a read, I'd absolutely love any feedback. Your thoughts, suggestions, and even your favourite moments mean the world to me and will help me grow as a writer. I can't wait to hear what you think of The Thorned Crown.
Evelyne Caelum never wanted a crown, a title, or a life built on the fragile bones of political alliances. But when she marries Rael, the feared Duke of Caelum. She is thrust into a world where every whisper is a weapon and every smile hides a blade.
The court calls her naïve. The nobles call her weak.
When Evelyne's suggestion of diplomacy sparks controversy and the envoy she trusted disappears, she becomes the perfect scapegoat for the kingdom's rising tensions. Surrounded by enemies on all sides. Evelyne must navigate a labyrinth of court politics while learning who she can trust, if anyone at all.
Rael, the cold and unreadable Duke, carries a past carved from steel and blood. Once a rebel, now a ruler, he is hated by the people who raised him and distrusted by the nobles he now commands. His loyalty is a weapon and his secrets could ignite a war.
As the rebel threat grows and treachery seeps into the castle walls. Evelyne and Rael are forced into an uneasy alliance. She must learn to wield her voice; he must learn to trust someone other than himself.
Together, they must face a kingdom on the brink of war, a court hungry for blood, and a past that refuses to stay buried.
In a world where alliances shift like shadows and danger lurks behind the throne, Evelyne must decide:
Will she remain a pawn in someone else's game, or rise to become the wolf who stands beside the Duke?
