About this audiobook
I was chosen as the tribute. He claimed me as his prize instead.
Rosalind Ashcombe has spent her whole life healing the sick in her border village, hiding the strange glow in her hands and the way iron never burns her skin. When the Veil thins early and her name is drawn for the tithe, she expects to become a gift handed to a monster.
She doesn't expect the monster to be beautiful. Or bound by a curse that makes him incapable of lying to her.
Killian Vaneth, Warden of the Ashwood Court, was supposed to deliver her straight to his King. Instead he claims her as his own, under a law older than the throne itself, binding them together so completely that a room's distance apart becomes unbearable. She hates him for taking her choice. He can't explain, even to himself, why he couldn't let her go.
As the fae court's cruelty closes in and Rosalind's suppressed power grows too strong to hide, she uncovers a truth that could burn the whole court down: she is the last living heir of a bloodline the crown tried to erase a century ago, and the King has been hunting her kind ever since.
Enemies. Prisoners. Consorts. And, impossibly, something neither of them chose but both of them want.
Some bargains bind more than a body. This one binds a heart neither of them meant to give away.
"The Bargain of Thorns"is a slow-burn, fae-court fantasy romance featuring a grumpy warden who can't lie, a healer with a dangerous secret, forced proximity, and a romance that burns as bright as the magic that binds them.
Contains explicit content intended for readers 18+.
She was the tithe. He claimed her as his own instead. Bound by ancient law, hunted by a King, falling for a man who cannot lie to her, Rosalind must master a forbidden power before the fae court's cruelty destroys them both. A slow-burn fantasy romance.
