A CROWN OF THRON
A CROWN OF THORNS
Two kingdoms. One marriage. A love neither expected.
Princess Seraphina Aurelia Valemont has never been a princess who bows easily. Fierce, intelligent, and stubborn, she believes a crown is a responsibility, not a privilege. The last thing she wants is to marry Prince Kael Draven Blackthorn, Dravaryn's arrogant and formidable heir, who believes emotions are weaknesses and challenges are meant to be conquered.
Bound by an arranged marriage intended to unite their kingdoms, Seraphina and Kael begin as rivals, exchanging sharp insults and refusing to surrender to each other's demands. Neither expects their growing hostility to become something far more dangerous: love.
When a chilling threat warns that both heirs will die unless their wedding takes place before the first snowfall, an assassination attempt exposes a conspiracy linked to the disgraced House Veyron. Forced to investigate the danger together, the unlikely pair journey into the mountains, where ambushes, hidden documents, and political secrets test their courage and trust.
Beneath Kael's cold arrogance lies a man haunted by his mother's death, terrified of appearing weak. Seraphina challenges his beliefs, forcing him to confront the vulnerability he has spent years concealing. Meanwhile, the charming Prince Lucien, Seraphina's childhood friend, awakens a jealousy Kael stubbornly refuses to acknowledge.
As their reluctant partnership deepens into an unexpected romance, evidence of a secret council and disturbing questions about Kael's mother's death threaten to shatter everything they believe.
With winter approaching and betrayal lurking within the royal courts, Seraphina and Kael must uncover the truth before their marriage becomes the weapon that destroys both kingdoms.
In a world ruled by crowns and secrets, loving each other may be their greatest strength—or their most dangerous weakness.
