About Thorns of the Eternal - A Gothic Fantasy Romance of Fate, Power and Forbidden Love
In a world where demi-gods live by one sacred law - that each soul has only one destined mate - Lirael chooses silence over prophecy. Once flame-born and worshipped, she now hides among mortals, refusing the bond that would chain her heart to a man she never chose. Caelum is that man. Heir to a fading throne, forged in war and burdened with a dying species, he has no time for love - only duty. But when fate draws him to Lirael, he discovers that devotion can be quiet. And freedom can come from staying. Their bond was written in the stars. They choose to rewrite it in blood and mercy. But the child they once lost to the old rites has returned - no longer innocent, no longer human - and the world he brings with him may not allow them to love without consequence. Now, they must decide: Will they obey the bond that doomed them? Or burn down the law that made gods of grief?
