About this audiobook
Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads.
A fated-mates paranormal romance of a runaway bride and revenge, and the heart that wouldn't forget. For fans of dark fae courts and forbidden love, this gripping tale weaves passion and peril into every page. When mortal Elara flees her arranged marriage, she stumbles into the Silver Court—a realm of deadly fae magic and treacherous bargains. Her brother is captured by the enigmatic Lord Thorne, a fae prince cursed to feel no emotion. To save him, Elara must complete three impossible tasks: steal a relic from a rival court, outwit a vengeful sorceress, and resist the pull of a bond that grows stronger with every stolen glance. The complication: Lord Thorne is her fated mate, and their connection is a weapon used by his enemies. The impossible choice: break the bond and condemn her brother to eternal torment, or embrace it and risk becoming the key to the fae lord's ultimate revenge. Thorne's icy exterior hides a heart that remembers a love lost centuries ago—and Elara's mortal soul might be the only thing that can thaw it. But their bond twists into a dangerous game of power, where desire becomes a liability and trust is a currency few can afford. As the tasks unfold, Elara discovers the Silver Court's darkest secret: Thorne's curse is tied to a betrayal that shattered his world, and her brother's fate is merely a pawn in a larger war. With enemies closing in and the bond threatening to consume them both, Elara must decide if love is worth the price of her humanity. Tropes: fated mates, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, slow burn, dangerous fae lord, runaway bride. This is the first book in The Thorned Courts series, followed by A Court of Ember and Shadows (available now) and A Court of Frost and Bone (coming spring 2025). Dive into a world where every kiss is a gamble and every promise a blade.
Perfect for readers who love **Harley Laroux** and **Liv Zander**.
