Thorns Of The Crown
Selene was never meant to wear the crown. Born into a royal family with a tragic past, she was always content living in the shadows of her more charismatic siblings. But when an untimely assassination claims the lives of her family, she is thrust into the throne, burdened with the weight of a kingdom she never wanted.
With the crown comes more than just responsibility. It’s a symbol of power, but also a curse—a dark history that binds Selene to ancient forces, and a crown entwined with the very fate of the kingdom. A mysterious figure, hidden in the shadows of the court, seems to know more about the cursed crown than he lets on. As Selene struggles to adapt to her newfound role, the prince from a neighboring kingdom begins to draw near, offering her a political alliance... but his true motives are unclear.
As she navigates the treacherous waters of court politics, Selene finds herself torn between duty, fear, and the forbidden allure of a love she can never fully trust. With every decision, the crown grows heavier, and the thorns hidden within its delicate structure seem to reach deeper, testing her strength and her heart. In a world where betrayal is as common as loyalty, Selene must find her own path—or risk losing not only the crown but herself.
