Princess Vivienne Sinclair, heir to the throne of Aveloria, was accustomed to the weight of responsibility that draped her slender shoulders. Her elegant stature belied the turmoil within-a heart yearning for freedom and the taste of life beyond the confines of duty. The vibrant tapestries of the Avelorian court hid secrets beneath their intricate weaves, none as potent as Vivienne's clandestine identity: Briar, one of the Syndicate's most formidable assassins.
Across the kingdom's borders, nestled within the cradle of mountains, lay Vesperia-a realm renowned for its noble governance and steadfast traditions. Prince Cedric Winslow, the epitome of chivalry and valor, stood tall amidst the opulence of Lumina's grandeur. Unbeknownst to many, he carried a hidden identity as Thorn, Vesperia's shadow-a masterful assassin whose every move was shrouded in secrecy.
Their worlds collided when an enigmatic figure known as "Lord" issued a chilling decree-a lethal assignment compelling the kingdom's top assassins to eliminate each other. Vivienne, entrusted with the task of killing Prince Cedric, and Cedric, assigned to assassinate Princess Vivienne, found themselves entangled in a perilous web of conflicting loyalties and forbidden desires.
The fragile peace between Aveloria and Vesperia teetered on the edge as the two royals grappled with their predicament. Amidst the chaos of political intrigue, their hearts wrestled with emotions they dared not acknowledge
Explore their destiny in "A Touch of Thorns," where passion and secrets intertwine. Twists and revelations test the fragile bond. Join their journey to uncover the truth and reveal their destined path.

I lift my hand, holding my pistol to his chest, hovering over his heart. He stares at me, emotions spilling out of him. Emotions I can't decipher. He leans closer, the tip of the barrel pressing into his skin, just above his heart. "Do it," he whispers, inches from my face. I hold his gaze, while his hands snake under my shirt, grazing my skin. "I dare you," he lowers his voice, so gently, "Shoot me." My finger curls around the trigger, an inch from pulling it. I glare into his eyes, "You're a fucking monster," I whisper. He nods, "I know." "You kill without remorse," I spit. "I know." "I hate you," My finger screams at me to pull the trigger. "I know." "I'm disgusted by you." "I know," he inhales, letting his forehead rest against mine. His gaze falls to my lips, "If you want me dead, then kill me, pull the trigger." - It's no longer a question.
