Everything You Need to Know About Violet Made of Thorns
Violet Lune is the royal Seer of Auveny, pulled off the streets as a child after her Sight proved true, and she has kept her comfortable position ever since by telling fortunes the way the king prefers them: twisted where useful. Prince Cyrus knows exactly what she is and despises her for it. Then the king orders Violet to fake a prophecy steering Cyrus's choice of bride at the upcoming ball, while an older prophecy warns that the prince's marriage will either save the kingdom or doom it. And Violet's real dreams have started whispering to her, promising she is worthy of far more. Prickly enemies-to-lovers where both sides earn the enemies part.
Manipulation and court coercion, violence, death, a protagonist who lies constantly, some sensuality.
For readers who want a heroine who is actually mean, not adorably clumsy. Fans of morally gray leads and barbed court banter will have fun with Violet, and the story has dark fairytale bones under its jaded edge. Skip it if you need a likable-from-page-one protagonist or a tidy romance.
Published as the start of a possible duology, but no sequel has been released; the author has said to read it as a standalone for now.
