Heir of Thorns

Exiled and bound by a magical seal, Ash lives a solitary life, his wild gift for communicating with animals his only companion. But when a mysterious fae woman, Sable, appears in his forbidden woods, setting silver snares and speaking of ancient Courts, his carefully constructed cage begins to crack. She seeks his raven, Mourning, and her presence awakens a dormant, dangerous power within Ash, a beast he's suppressed for six years. As a missing hiker's disappearance hints at darker forces at play, Ash finds himself drawn into Sable's dangerous game, a game where fae debts are currency and every secret has a price. Can he protect his world and his heart from the woman who sees past his exile to the untamed power beneath, or will her touch shatter the fragile peace he's built, forcing him to confront the crown he once lost and the beast he became?
