The Lady Between Thorns

With civil war engaged, this fight for the throne will test even the deepest loyalties.

Lady Elena has been waiting for what feels like her entire life to help her cousin Terrence gain the throne. Now that goal is almost in reach, but steep obstacles still stand in the way - like the current king who'll fight to keep his place. With the war going against them, Elena leads a clandestine mission to seize the capital and turn the tide.

Sir Henry never wanted to go back to war, but this time he believes in the cause, and he definitely doesn't want his wife going on a dangerous mission alone. Accompanying Elena to the capital, Henry struggles with the ghosts of his own past, and his fears for the woman he loves in this risky endeavor.

Elena and Henry must work together and rely on each other, to protect themselves and the country, but both are holding important things back. Certain secrets could jeopardize not just the mission, but the bond between them.

This fantasy romance, the third in a continuing series, shifts focus to a new couple, while continuing the story of Sleeping Beauty and her prince claiming the throne after the curse is lifted. If you enjoy heroines growing through trials, couples supporting each other, and intrigue in fantasy worlds, this is the series for you.
