She was the curse he was sworn to break. He was the only light left in her darkness.
Briar Thornwood was born under a dying curse—one that withers everything she loves and marks her as a danger to the kingdom that fears her. So when the cold, beautiful heir to the throne offers her a bargain, she takes it, even knowing he may be the one sent to end her.
But Prince Caelum is not what the curse made him seem. Behind his thorned crown lies a secret as old as the magic binding them, and every moment they spend together pulls them deeper into a longing neither can afford.
As the curse tightens and old enemies close in, Briar must decide what she's willing to sacrifice—and whether the boy she was meant to destroy might be the only one who can save her.
Some thorns are meant to wound. Some are meant to protect.
