THE THIEF AND THE THORNE

The Thief and the Thorne is a lush romantic fantasy about love after betrayal, the power of emotional healing, and the sacred magic of forgiveness.

Exiled from her kingdom and hunted for her ancient magic, Serelith has spent five years surviving on whispers and fire. But a vision of the legendary Heart of Thorne—a flower said to heal the land and restore the lost bloodlines—pulls her back into a world that once destroyed her.

Kael was once her protector… until he became her greatest betrayal. Now bound by a curse that twisted every choice he made, he returns with a truth too heavy to bear—and a heart still tethered to hers.

Their path leads them through cursed ruins, desert storms, and haunting visions, to a sacred valley where magic remembers pain—and demands truth in return. To claim the Heart, they’ll have to survive its trials together. But the deepest test won’t be fire or blood.

It will be forgiveness.

For fans of slow-burn romance, powerful heroines, wounded antiheroes, and fantasy stories where healing is just as epic as battle, The Thief and the Thorne is a standalone tale that lingers like a scar and blooms like hope.
