THORNED

Dark Omegaverse Romantasy

By: Allegra Rose

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Thorns that pierce. Magic that binds. Love that claims.

Lady Rosalind Whitmore has always been different. While other women disappear into Fae courts with stars in their eyes, she knows better. She's too smart, too strong, too independent to fall for ancient magic and older seductions. When she volunteers for a diplomatic mission to the mysterious Thorn Court, it's to prove she can succeed where others have failed.

She has no idea that wanting it was never part of the equation.

Prince Kaelen has orchestrated everything. The border crisis, the diplomatic summons, even the perfect storm that delivers his prophesied omega directly into his thorned embrace. His court is dying, his magic fading, and only the right omega bond can save his people from extinction. He's prepared to use every weapon in his arsenal—devastating charm, addictive pheromones, and thorns that deliver pleasure so intense it destroys her will to resist.

What he didn't expect was to fall just as hard.

Rosalind came to negotiate. Instead, she discovers that some missions end in complete surrender. As her heat awakens under Kaelen's thorned touch and his rut-driven obsession burns through every defense, she realizes the abandoned daughter who feared being forgotten has found an alpha who will worship her body and claim her soul—even if it costs her everything she thought she was.

But when the brutal truth about her capture shatters their perfect bond, Rosalind must choose between the woman she used to be and the omega she's becoming. Because love built on lies might be a beautiful trap...but sometimes the most dangerous cages are the ones we beg to stay in.


A dark fae omegaverse romance featuring alpha rut, omega heat, thorned anatomy, fated mates, and a heroine who discovers that being completely claimed might be worth any price.

Interesting premise

I'm a fan both of monster with alt anatomy, and of alpha -omega dynamics. I had high hopes for this one. However it was both contradictory to itself and repetitive, I couldn't finish.
>! MMC seems to be taking things slow, helping FMC to come to terms with their bond by showing her pleasure... but then tells us he's so Alpha he never considered her pleasure and was just gonna take what he wanted. telling and showing us 2 different things.
Every day they're together their actions and conversations are nearly identical... get on with the story and the bonding already!
Finally, they do the deed and the fact that the MMC has alt anatomy seems almost irrelevant, nothing is different? !<
