Married to the Throne of Thorns
Princess Briar of the rugged northern border expected a life of hard work, not a political marriage to the reclusive King Aldric of Oakhaven. Unknown to the realm, Aldric bears the Crown of Thorns—an ancient relic that pierces his scalp whenever he speaks a falsehood. Surrounded by scheming courtiers and treacherous ministers, Aldric has lived behind a mask of cold deceit, enduring constant pain to maintain his rule. But Briar's sharp mind and unwavering honesty disarm the tormented king. As lethal palace intrigues threaten to destroy the kingdom, Aldric must navigate a treacherous court while falling for the one woman he cannot bring himself to lie to.
