Thorns of the Uncrowned: A Romantasy of Forbidden Power, Broken Systems, and the Girl the World Could Not Define

Power decides who lives.

At least… that’s what the world believes.

In a kingdom where magic marks determine worth, the unmarked are nothing—discarded, erased, forgotten. Elowen was born without a mark… and should have died because of it.

But when the system tries to eliminate her, something impossible happens.

The world answers her anyway.

Thrown into the brutal hierarchy of the Citadel, where strength is measured and weakness is removed, Elowen becomes an anomaly no one can explain—and no one can control. As deadly trials intensify and political tensions rise, she is pulled into a dangerous web of power, rebellion, and forbidden truths.

Watching her is Alaric Thornevale—a commander bound by duty, trained to enforce the system she threatens to unravel.

He should eliminate her.

Instead… he can’t.

As their paths collide, tension ignites into something far more dangerous than attraction—because if Elowen’s power is real, it doesn’t just break the rules.

It destroys them.

Now hunted by the Crown, torn between control and chaos, and forced to confront what she truly is, Elowen must decide:

Will she survive the system—

Or become the reason it falls?
