A Crown of Thorns and Starlight. The Moonfall Kingdom, #2

A cursed prince. A healer who shares his pain. A kingdom where the forest itself decides who deserves the crown. Prince Cassian of Thornhaven has only seven days to live. An ancient curse is spreading through his body, twisting black thorns around his heart while the enchanted forest surrounding his kingdom slowly dies with him. Every physician has failed. Every remedy has been exhausted. Then a mysterious healer named Liora walks through the living thorn wall-a barrier no stranger has crossed in centuries.
Gifted with rare magic that allows her to take another's suffering upon herself, Liora soon discovers that Cassian's affliction is no ordinary curse. It is an ancient claim tied to the forgotten Guardians of Moonfall Vale, one that threatens not only the prince but the future of the entire kingdom. As assassins emerge from the shadows, long-buried prophecies awaken, and an immortal enemy manipulates events from afar, Cassian and Liora must uncover the truth hidden beneath Thornhaven's ancient forests.
But every step closer to saving the kingdom draws them closer to a heartbreaking choice-one that may demand the ultimate sacrifice. Filled with enchanted forests, ancient magic, slow-burn romance, forgotten prophecies, thrilling battles, and unforgettable characters, A Crown of Thorns and Starlight is the enchanting second novel in The Moonfall Kingdoms-a series of interconnected standalone romantasy adventures where every love story reveals another piece of a world-changing mystery.
