Deal of Jagged Thornes

A romantic epic fantasy of dangerous alliances, ambition, and forbidden love.
 
BEFORE THE THRONE. BEFORE THE BETRAYAL. THERE WAS A CHOICE.
 
Long before sisters stood divided, before the throne became a battlefield, the foundations of Iosia were already cracking beneath the weight of ambition and forbidden power.
 
Prince Leopold never wanted the throne—only a life beyond Thorne Castle.
 
Fate had other plans.
 
Lady Astrid believed she controlled the world she lived in.
 
She was wrong.
 
In a land where betrayal lingers in the shadows and loyalty is a fragile illusion, one decision can alter the fate of an entire kingdom.
 
For in Iosia, magic and secrets never stay hidden forever.
 
And some deals don’t just change the future… They create it.
 
In this romantic epic fantasy filled with political intrigue, dangerous alliances, and forbidden love, one decision will alter the fate of a kingdom.

TWO SISTERS. ONE THRONE. A KINGDOM DIVIDED.

It is taken.
