The sun over Lorian has not warmed anything in seventeen years.
Isolde Thornmere has survived by being forgettable. Plain cloak. Lowered gaze. No questions. No blood spilled where anyone might see it.
Then a sacred relic cuts her palm in the market square, and the stones beneath the sanctum open for the first time in generations.
Now the palace knows her name.
The court calls her a possible claimant. The priests call her dangerous. Lord Malrec Thorne wants her controlled before the old laws remember too much. And Captain Alaric Eldenhart, a truthbound officer sworn to the crown, is ordered to bring her in before her blood wakes something no one can bury again.
But Alaric knows more than he says.
He knows the palace is not only a palace.
He knows the moonless oath was built on lies.
And he knows that if Isolde is truly the last Thornmere heir, every door she opens may bring Lorian closer to salvation, or ruin.
Bound by blood, truth, and a forbidden pull neither of them can afford, Isolde and Alaric must uncover what was hidden beneath the Hollow Sun before the court turns her power into a prison.
The Thorn Throne is Book One in Queen of the Hollow Sun, a dark royal romantasy duet filled with ancient oaths, cursed palaces, hidden bloodlines, political betrayal, slow burn tension, and a forbidden bond that could change the fate of a kingdom.
