The Thorned Rose of Emberfall

Blood. Betrayal. Bloom.

Lady Seraphine of Thornwood has lived a sheltered life—until she arrives at Emberfall's court to tend the legendary Thorned Rose, a living talisman of the kingdom's power. But when the cursed bloom blackens overnight, a prophecy buried in her grandmother's journal reveals that only an heir's blood can awaken its petals from death's grasp.

Enter Captain Rion Varek: brooding commander of the royal guard, sworn to protect the queen…and tempted beyond duty by Seraphine's quiet strength. As they unearth palace treachery, battle shadow-fiends, and face the advisor who would see them all destroyed, their duty blossoms into a fierce, forbidden bond.

Under a blood-red eclipse, Seraphine and Rion perform a perilous ritual—mixing their blood with ancient incantations—to breathe new life into the Thorned Rose. But Rubicon crossed and magic unleashed, they must stand together against the traitors who would steal their crown…and each other's hearts.
