Shadows of Spring: A Dark Fae Reverse Harem Romance (The Thornwood Legacy #2)
Ivy Blackwood
After surviving torture and betrayal, Briar Rose Thorne completed the emotional and physical bonds with her four cursed fae princes. But the transformation came with a terrible cost—Thorn Corruption threatens to consume her humanity entirely.
Through desperate sacrifice, Lysander, Rowan, Thorne, and Caspian caged the corruption within her. Each prince gave up part of his defining magic to keep her grounded. But the Binding Ritual revealed a devastating truth:
They need a fifth bond. The forgotten prince. Oren Wildthorn.
Three hundred years ago, the phoenix prince was cursed to die and resurrect every seven days. His brothers left him behind. Abandoned. Forgotten.
Now he's their only hope.
But finding a prince who doesn't want to be found is only the first challenge. Convincing him to forgive three centuries of betrayal might be impossible. And if they fail, the anchors will shatter—and Briar will lose herself to the darkness forever.
The search begins. The clock is ticking. And some wounds run too deep to heal...
