He promised to protect her. But fate had crueler plans.

At the Institute, Elora trained in alchemy and trusted the man who raised her to keep her safe. Until the day he could no longer stand between her and Headmaster Thorn.

Now, survival means submission.

Her body, her mind, her will—nothing is off-limits in Thorn’s vision of what she should become. To survive, Elora must resist more than pain. She must resist erasure.

But Thorn will learn—she was never taught to kneel.

Dark magic. Forced obedience. Raw survival.

Thorns of Fate is a gut-punch of a dark fantasy debut. Perfect for readers who crave brutal magic systems, morally gray choices, and a protagonist that falls before they rise.

-Readers’ Favorite

“The author doesn’t sensationalize trauma—she shows how it steals your voice, then quietly reminds you that it can be reclaimed.

If you’re looking for a soft, comforting fantasy, this isn’t it. But if you’ve ever been hurt, felt powerless, or wondered if healing was even possible… this book will see you.”
