Crown of Thorns

After her family's ruin, Mary seeks vengeance by entering the palace, targeting Crown Prince Kane. Yet, the man she encounters is Marcus, Kane's wounded and gentle doppelganger, living a life of borrowed identity. Drawn to her pain, Marcus conceals his truth as they navigate a dangerous dance of deception and burgeoning love. Their tangled path reveals the conspiracy that destroyed Mary's family runs deeper than either imagined. When the real Kane returns and court intrigues tighten, Mary faces an impossible choice: her thirst for revenge or her love for the man caught in the crown's shadow, each step drawing them closer to a fate as sharp as thorns.
