Veil of the Thorn Queen

They called her wicked. They called her cursed. But no one ever asked why the Thorn Queen wore a crown of thorns—or what she was protecting.



Kaelyn is a healer’s apprentice with no past and no future. Until she discovers she’s the last living descendant of a line long thought extinct—one that binds her blood to the forest and to the woman who rules it.



The Thorn Queen once saved the realm. Now she is its monster.



To uncover her heritage, Kaelyn must brave the lies of the court, the illusions of the Thornwood, and the truth of her own magic. As she unravels the history buried beneath centuries of silence, Kaelyn must ask herself: who is the real villain—the woman in thorns, or those who crowned her?



A dark fairy tale about legacy, choice, and the cost of reclaiming power in a world that fears it.
