Realm of Thorns

Seven years after the shadow prince's sacrifice, his protégé has grown into something legendary.

​

Raven was ten when Vallen disappeared. The nightmares that wake her with dirt under her nails suggest he might not be as dead as everyone believes. By twelve, she's demanding spy training—and already becoming a legend among her peers. By fourteen, she's breaking into the Vesper Court searching for him. By sixteen, she actually makes contact with Vallen and attempts an extraction that nearly gets her killed.

​

When Malak begins hunting the mysterious "Wolf of the North," Thorne takes a page from Vallen's playbook—together, they spend years building a reputation so terrifying that enemies think twice before pursuing her.

But at seventeen, another reckless rescue attempt forces Thorne to confront two truths: Raven has become a woman he can't stop thinking about, and he needs to get away before he does something stupid.

Promoted to spymaster, he's sent to the Sapphire Isles to investigate Queen Seraphina's suspicious neutrality and recruit Princess Kamari to the Crimson Crow. Instead, he ends up sleeping with the princess while accidentally courting her sister—who wants to make him husband number five.

​

When Raven flies in to rescue him from his romantic disaster, everything changes. A deadly trap. Hidden feelings. A love that could save them both.

The war is coming. Secrets are surfacing. And rumors whisper that the shadow prince still lives.
