In a kingdom ruled by corruption and bloodshed, Lirael, an assassin and leader of a secret rebellion, is on a mission to overthrow the monarchy that has oppressed her people for generations. When she infiltrates the high society under a false name, her plan takes an unexpected turn. During a fateful dance with the charming and enigmatic Cassian, the high king's best friend, their souls are bound by a mysterious mark-a sign that they are fated soulmates.

But Cassian is more than just the king's closest ally. He is unaware of the truth that connects him to the throne-the bloodline he shares with the royal family, the crimes committed by the old king, and the lies that have shaped his life. To Lirael, the connection is a curse, for while her mission is to destroy the monarchy, the man she's bound to is the very person she must betray.

As the kingdom teeters on the brink of war, Lirael must navigate the dangerous line between love and loyalty, truth and deception. In a world where the fate of the throne could change with a single choice, Lirael and Cassian's bond might be the key to saving-or destroying-the kingdom.

"Thorns of the Crown" is a tale of forbidden love, betrayal, and the pursuit of justice, where the line between enemy and soulmate blurs, and the price of truth is more than one heart can bear.
