Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

-------

Before the thorns were bound to his head, the King of Thornacre used to be renowned for being the proud, charismatic and mighty ruler of Darkwell. After having to abdicate due to an unforgivable sin, the King and his three daughters were banished to the wasteland of Thornacre where time runs differently. The new King must wear the jagged thorned crown, a crown enchanted to prolong his life. A crown that tied him to his unwanted reign, a reign that could only be passed on to a male heir. 

After years of ruling among other villains and wrongdoers such as himself, the Thorn King wishes for his life, and rule, to end. With three daughters and no sons, he has to resort to marrying his eldest daughter, Ainya, to a fine young suitor fit to rule over the wretched land. But Ainya has no intention on marrying anybody. 

When Ainya goes missing, the King must decide whose priorities to put first, his death wish or his daughters' safety.

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.
