Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She married the enemy to save her people. Now an ancient king intends to use their vows to claim Britain.

Northern England, 1069. Lady Elswyth of Alderham would sooner burn her own grain than surrender it to William's conquerors. Adrien de Vire is the Norman captain ordered to seize her land-a battle-scarred soldier whose obedience has made him both powerful and dangerous.

When royal decree forces them into a political marriage, Elswyth and Adrien write their own terms: no obedience, no possession, and no claim to any part of the other that is not freely given.

But their defiance opens a road older than England itself.

Arianwen-the first woman sacrificed to create the Thorn King-has returned. Caradog ap Nudd must finally face the person his legend erased, even as William's armies devastate the North, Danish sails enter the Humber, and five cursed crown-roads converge beneath Alderham.

To protect her people, Elswyth must trust the man who came to conquer her without surrendering the authority she fought to keep. Adrien must decide whether love means guarding her-or refusing every power that would allow him to possess her.

Five Houses gather.Five crowns demand their final price.>The Thorn King does not need their devotion.He needs them to kneel.

The dark, sweeping finale to The Thorn Crown Chronicles-a historical romantasy of enemies-to-lovers passion, political marriage, Celtic myth, conquest, and reckoning.Seven KDP Keyword Fields
