Violet Made of Thorns


Book Description

There's always a price for defying destiny. 'BEAUTIFULLY VICIOUS' Chloe Gong 'AN ENCHANTING DARK FANTASY' Sabaa Tahir Violet is a seer and a liar, influencing the court with her cleverly phrased - and not always true - divinations. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so-not-charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to banish her once he's crowned. But when the king orders her to predict Cyrus's love story for an upcoming ball, Violet accidentally awakens a dreaded curse that could ruin them all. Her wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can't change her fate - nor the doomed attraction growing between her and the prince . . . The first in a darkly enchanting fantasy duology about a morally grey witch, a cursed prince, and a prophecy that ignites their fate-twisted destinies. PRAISE FOR GINA CHEN 'Entrancing' Joan He 'Violet made of thorns is thrilling, tense and highly addictive. A great read' Netgalley review - 5 stars 'Unforgettable' Hannah Whitten 'I would definitely recommend this book to the people that like books with an enemy to lovers trope, Beauty and the Beast vibes and romance' Netgalley review - 5 stars
