What if True Love’s Kiss was the Curse?

Briar wakes from a decade-long sleeping curse to find her world overturned. The enchanted forest she calls home is being destroyed by the king she once called a friend. Her true love is gone. And the curse awoke the dormant magic from her half-fae heritage. Armed with thorny magic and a poisonous kiss, Briar waits for revenge. 

The wedding of the crown prince is the chance Briar waited for. Raised to be the perfect, charming, fairytale prince, Declan is nothing more than a pawn. Used by his father to secure an alliance that would vanquish the witch of the enchanted woods, Declan believes he is doing good, despite his daydreams of exploring the magical forest. Captured by the witch his people fear, Declan soon discovers that appearances are deceiving.

As Declan helps Briar heal the forest, the thorns surrounding Briar’s heart are stripped away with each act of kindness. But Briar already lost her True Love, and Declan was never hers to keep. With his kingdom against her, Briar will never be more than his story’s villain.

And villains don’t get happy endings.
