Thorns & Flames by Kendal Huntsman

When Selene Fairchild is chosen as one of twelve Bloodmoon Brides offered to the cursed king, she expects death- not destiny.

But beyond the obsidian gates of his cursed keep lies a world of whispers and wonder, where every shadow has teeth and every secret burns.

Drawn to the mysterious King Keiren, whose power and grief are bound by flame, Selene soon finds herself caught between duty and desire, between the girl she was and the fire she’s becoming. As the trials of the brides unfold, she uncovers a prophecy older than the realm itself one that ties her fate to the very curse she fears.

With darkness rising and love demanding its own kind of courage, Selene must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice for freedom… and who she’s willing to become to save them all.

A sweeping romantasy about the courage and quiet strength of the human heart the kind that burns brighter than any fire, even in the darkest night.
