A betrayed healer wields thorn magic to expose the royal decree that made her prince an enemy.
Vanessa tended wounds and imagined a life beside Prince Leon until a sovereign command incinerated her community and recast the prince as her antagonist. Two years of absence sharpened her gift into something that sprouts brambles instead of curative light, and hatred has calcified where devotion once lived. She reenters the Thorn Kingdom not to reclaim a romance but to pry loose the truth buried beneath the ashes. Every inquiry pulls her deeper into a collision of crown authority, ecclesiastical maneuvering, and primeval forces that have waited in silence. The premise offers a protagonist whose power mirrors her internal rupture, moving through a court where every ally might serve a hidden master.
