About this audiobook

He swore he would never love. She crossed his border to save her dying sister. The bargain would bind them both. As a boy, Kieran Thornwood watched his mother work a thornwood blade and learned the cruelest law of the fae. "Love is a wound," she whispered. "It opens you. It makes you weak. You will never love, Kieran. Swear it." He swore. And the wall of thorns grew inside him for three hundred years. Now he is the Thorn Lord of a crumbling court, an enemy army at his gates, and an old prophecy lodged in his chest like a stone: a mortal bride, bound by blood and thorn, shall break the winter siege and crown the summer king. Across the border, Rosalind Ashwood is out of time. Her sister Hazel is dying of a curse no village healer can lift. The only cure lies in the Court of Thorns, in a realm where humans are currency and bargains are binding. Rose has no wealth, no title, no power. She has a lock of her sister's hair, three weeks before the roads freeze, and nothing left to lose. So she runs straight into the hedge of thorns and offers the only thing she owns: herself. "You want a cure," the Fae Lord says, his eyes winter-ice. "I want a bride. The bargain is simple. You will not leave." A cold prison. A possessive captor sworn never to feel. A healer who refuses to wilt. But thorns can bloom. And a heart walled shut for centuries was never truly dead, only waiting. As the Autumn Court closes in and the prophecy demands its price, Rose and Kieran must decide whether a bargain born of desperation can become the only love strong enough to break the siege, and the curse, before it costs them everything. The Fae Lord's Bargain is a lush, gothic fae romance about a marriage of convenience, an enemies-to-lovers bargain, a cursed brooding lord, a fierce mortal healer, a deadly prophecy, and a love that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for readers who love court-of-thorns fae romance, grumpy-immortal-meets-stubborn-mortal, captive-bride bargains, slow-burn enemies to lovers, and the spellbound worlds of Sarah J. Maas and Holly Black. A standalone fae romance with a hard-won happy ending.
