A cursed crown. A forbidden bond. A kingdom that will burn for both.
Elowen was never meant to wear the Crown.
The Thornbound Crown is more than a symbol of power-it is an ancient relic of living magic, bound to the roots of the land itself. Those who claim it must survive the Thornmind, the labyrinth of magic and memory hidden within the crown's power.
Most never return.
When Elowen is forced into the Crown rite, she awakens a bond she was never meant to touch-one tied to Caelan, a warrior whose fate is entwined with the crown's dark magic. Their connection is dangerous, unstable, and impossible to ignore.
Because the Thornbound Crown does not choose lightly.
As rival bloodlines close in and the kingdom fractures under the weight of ancient magic, Rowan must navigate a world of court intrigue, cursed artifacts, forbidden power, and a bond that could destroy them both.
The deeper she enters the Thornmind, the clearer the truth becomes:
The crown is not just a weapon.
It is alive.
And it is hungry.
Now Elowen and Caelan must decide whether their bond will save the realm...
or become the spark that shatters it.
