A Crown Made Of Thorns
What happens when crowns choose girls who never wanted them in the first place? Twila has always been the realist - the girl with rough hands and a sharper tongue, the one who hunts while her sister dreams of ballrooms and crowns. But when a royal letter drags her broken family into a palace dripping with gold and secrets, Twila finds herself caught between a wolfish prince who smiles like a knife and a crown that blooms where you bleed. Her sister wants a throne, her mother wants comfort, but Twila just wants to survive the brambles of palace intrigue, silver-tongued lies, and the dangerous promise behind the prince's sharp grin. Betrayals twist like thorns, shadows hide monsters with velvet smiles, and even a girl who never wished for royalty might find herself wearing a crown that cuts deeper than any blade. For those who crave vicious fairytales, cunning heroines, morally gray princes, and the question that lingers long after the last page: Who ruins who first?Complete
