Thorns Beneath the Crown

Thorns Beneath the Crown – Book Two of Romance in the Ruins of Power
Romantic Fantasy • Political Intrigue • Rebellion • Dark Royal Drama

In the aftermath of betrayal and burned vows, Queen Lyra and Prince Theron are no longer bound by duty—but by rebellion.

As the crown cracks and kingdoms bleed, they must navigate shifting alliances, phantom loyalties, and the return of Queen Virela—a ruler who would raze her homeland to ashes just to hold onto power. From blood-soaked ballrooms to plague-ridden hideouts, their enemies grow more ruthless... and so does their love.

But when secrets buried in the ruins of power claw their way back to the surface, the war for peace will demand sacrifices neither ever vowed to make.

Will their love survive a world built on treachery? Or will the thorns they planted to protect each other tear them apart?

Perfect for fans of morally grey royals, slow-burn romance, deadly queens, and rebellions born in shadows.
