About this ebook series

An epic fantasy romance filled with fae, magic, and an enemies to lovers romance. Elora lives for her sword, but her skill can’t save her family from ruin. To protect them, she accepts an arranged marriage, only to be stolen away by a broodingly handsome fae prince before she can say “I do.” Now trapped in his cursed court by a magical bargain, she must train him to win a throne, but the greatest battle she faces might be the one for her own heart.

He’s a cursed fae prince. She’s the mortal with a sword who can save him.

Swords first, love later. That was always Elora’s rule. Duty demands she marry a rich merchant to save her family, but a cruel twist of fate, and a handsome fae prince, have other plans. Now she’s a stranger in a strange land, bound by a bargain she foolishly made.

Prince Brannick is everything she shouldn’t want: smug, powerful, and the ruler of a cursed, beautiful court. He expects Elora to teach him the art of the blade to help him win a deadly contest for a throne.

He doesn’t know her own dreams are just as sharp, or that she’d do anything to get back to the world she left behind.

This addictive fae fantasy romance series sweeps a sword-wielding mortal into a cursed court where bargains are binding and enemies become something far more dangerous. When Elora’s desperate bargain drags her into Faerie, she’s trapped in a realm of enchanted dangers and courtly deception. Prince Brannick needs her skill with a blade to survive his rivals, but their enemies-to-lovers rivalry crackles with tension neither can ignore. As political intrigue deepens and secrets twist like briars around the court, Elora realizes her freedom, and Brannick’s future, depend on winning a contest that could cost them everything.

If you devoured the slow burn romance of The Elf Queen, the fierce heroine of Fourth Wing, or the dangerous fae intrigue of The Cruel Prince, this complete romantasy series opener will captivate you. Fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Bridge Kingdom will love the mix of portal fantasy romance, deadly tournaments, and brooding fae princes who hide broken hearts behind sharp smiles.

With forced proximity sword training, cursed magic, hidden motives, and a tantalizing slow burn fantasy romance, Court of Bitter Thorn delivers emotional stakes as sharp as Elora’s blade. She must outfight nobles, outthink schemers, and decide whether love is worth trusting a prince who rules a court built on thorns.
