Sable Vane crossed the world to murder a fae king--and fell for him instead. Now her secret is a blade at her own throat: exposed before the whole Court of Thorns as a Hemlock assassin, she has one way to keep her head--a fae bargain, sworn in blood and thorn: her poisoner's craft against the enemy bleeding the kingdom dry, in exchange for her lost sister's freedom and the king's protection.
But the Order that made her does not forgive defectors. They've sent Sorrel--Sable's oldest friend and deadliest equal--to finish the kill. And beneath the dying court's blight moves something far worse than a scheming duchess: the Sundered, who want the king and his assassin bonded, sealed, and ripe for the cutting.
With the spring tithe coming and a bond she cannot afford to complete pulling tighter every day, Sable must out-poison the one person who knows her every move--and decide what she is willing to become. A weapon. Or a hero.
A Bargain of Thorns is the second book in A Crown of Thorns and Ash, a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fae romantasy. Best begun with Book 1, The Thorn King.
Reader note: fae violence and mature themes; sensual, slow-burn romance with no explicit content. Suitable for readers 16+.
