Burn the Kingdom Down
An action-packed enemies-to-lovers romantasy filled with a romance that will leave you breathless, betrayals that will rip your heart out, and a princess who will stop at nothing for revenge.
One year ago, Rowenna Harrak, the crown princess of Tashir, left her homeland in a wedding dress of chains―sent away to the enemy nation of Vanzador as a captive bride.
Now, Rowenna is dead. Brought home in a coffin after an alleged fall from a cliff.
Second-born princess, Indira, knows her sister's death was no accident. Desperate for truth and vengeance, Indira agrees to wed the prince so she can infiltrate Vanzador, find Rowenna's murderer, and burn their kingdom to the ground.
Indira's plan is simple, she will make nice until she can find out how to avenge her sister and free her country from the rival nation's stranglehold. But when Indira arrives, nothing is as terrible as Rowenna described. As Indira grows closer to her new husband, Prince Alaric, and uncovers more about Vanzador, the source of its powers, and what happened during Rowenna's final days, she's no longer sure what―and who―to believe. Because everyone, even her sister, has secrets. Deadly ones.
"Thorley skillfully blends political intrigue, romance, magic, and mystery into a story filled with betrayals and shocking reveals that build toward a thrilling conclusion... A page-turner that’s filled with twists and turns." ― Kirkus
"Thorley excels at creating sweeping kingdoms like Vanzador and Tashir, incorporating unique magic systems both intriguing and clever." ― Booklist
