Court of Bitter Thorn by Kay L. Moody

Set in a lush, Faerie world, this stunning tale of royal intrigue, magic, and sisterly devotion is perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince.

Faerie wasn't supposed to be real. Tricked by a fae prince, Elora is stuck in the Faerie realm far from her young sisters who depend on her for survival. Under the terms of her bargain, she can't go home to the mortal world until Prince Brannick becomes the next High King. Or until he's taken out of the running…

Sabotaging Brannick's chance at the crown will be much faster than helping him win. The fae prince may be charming, powerful, and wickedly handsome, but that won't stop Elora from selling his secrets to the highest bidder.

By day, she uses her master sword skills to train the prince. By night, she conspires with a rival king in a nearby court whose plans could destroy half of Faerie.

Soon, lives are at stake that she never expected. She'll have to choose who to save: her beloved sisters or half the inhabitants of Faerie. The choice would be easy… if a certain prince weren't digging his way into her heart.

BOOK PREVIEW

Excerpt

"I'm not coming with you." She shot him an extra hateful glare to be certain he understood.

His lips pressed together. "You do not have a choice. You entered the bargain. Now you are bound by it."

With a wave of his hand, a spinning tunnel appeared directly in front of them. The tunnel seemed to be made of green, brown, and black whirls, but she closed her eyes tight before her curiosity could be too entranced by it. The sound of fluttering leaves and the crisp scent of rain drifted toward her. Was that a hint of wild berries in the air?

Before she could peek through one eyelid, she slammed her eyes shut even tighter.

He let out an exasperated sigh, but then went a little too silent. Despite her better judgment, she opened her eyes just enough to manage a quick glance.

A sneer passed over his face as he leaned in close to her. "I am going to regret this bargain; I can already tell."

Her fists tightened at her sides. She looked him straight in the eye. "I'm not going to Faerie."

"Yes, mortal. You are."
