Duke of Thorns
Duke of Thorns
A Dark Fae Romantasy
Book 1 in Princes of Nocturne
Liora has three days before she belongs to a monster.
A Victorian dark fae romantasy with the bones of Beauty and the Beast — for readers of Karen Marie Moning, possessive morally-grey heroes, and the kind of bargains you cannot take back.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Sir Edmund Hargrave is respectable. Wealthy. A magistrate. His first wife lasted two years before she died.
No one asks questions about men like him.
So when another monster offers her a way out — a Duke who appears from nowhere, who watches her like prey, who promises safety in exchange for marriage — she takes the bargain. What choice does she have?
Vex is the Duke of Thornwood. Fae. Ancient. Patient in the way only something that has never been told no can be patient. He has spent a century in mortal society and never once chosen a bride. He chooses Liora the moment he sees her.
He tells her she will be safe.
He does not tell her what safe costs.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
But Thornwood Hall keeps secrets in its stones. The Duke keeps secrets in his blood. And Liora is beginning to suspect that the cage she chose might be worse than the one she escaped.
The bond pulling her toward him is older than England. The estate that has accepted her is alive. The portraits in the long gallery are watching. And the husband who promised her sanctuary has rules he has not told her about — rules that will not let her leave, even when she discovers what he is.
He cannot lie. He can only deceive.
She just doesn't know it yet.
