The Thorn Birds

In this present reality where enchantment is bound to the bloodline of a solitary family, Elara Thorne needs just to get away from her predetermination. As the hesitant watchman of the Thorned Crown — an old remnant of untold power — Elara dreams of a day to day existence liberated from obligation, regardless of the ages before her who committed themselves to safeguarding the domain. Yet, as the divine Cover's Blossom draws near, dim powers are attracted to the crown, taking steps to unwind both the realm and its mysteries. Tormented by her family's inheritance, directed by a champion auntie with insider facts of her own, and sought after by a strange sovereign with his own plan, Elara should conclude whether she'll embrace her power — or let the realm tumble to demolish. With partners including her wildly faithful shapeshifter companion and an imperial history specialist, Elara's process will uncover stowed away insights, prohibited wizardry, and the tough ties of devotion. In a test of skill and endurance, Elara should uncover the genuine expense of using the Thorned Crown and face the old soul that exists in. However long the crown stays in her grasp, she should stand up to the dull destiny bound to her blood... or then again risk all that she loves to liberate herself from it.
