The Pact of Thorns

De: Renato Dotremont

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Love was never meant to be the price of peace.

When the Council orders a political marriage, witch-in-exile Elara Wynne is sent to Blackthorn Keep, where brides rarely survive the year. Her groom, Rowen D’Aeth, the brooding Alpha of the North, bears a curse etched into stone and skin: to keep the realm from war, the Keep must claim a bride’s life.
But Blackthorn is a house that remembers. Mirrors whisper with the voices of lost wives. Bone roses bloom beneath the glass. A Vampire emissary sharpens the law like a knife. Refusing to die for anyone’s treaty, Elara forges a dangerous bargain with the man she should fear most. Together they must unteach a haunted castle its hunger, outwit a pact older than kings, and face a Blood Moon that demands proof no lover should have to give.
A lush, gothic romance.

If the pact remains unbroken, someone will pay with their blood. If they break it, the whole realm may burn.
Expect: sentient architecture, political intrigue, spectral brides, fated-mates with a twist, and a fiercely hopeful ending.
