Princess Briar of Thorn has a death curse, but she’s not worried about it. She’d rather spend her time tending to her briar rose vines in the hot desert gardens of her kingdom. When her father announces they are traveling to meet the two cold Haleston princes, she is most displeased—that is until the golden-haired prince and his reclusive ways find her more curious than ever. She can’t simply leave him alone even when he is less than receptive to her attentions. All she needs is true love’s kiss to break her curse—so why won’t he kiss her already? Prince Gideon of Haleston seems to have been cursed twice. Not only does he look like the spitting image of the traitor King Falcon himself, may he rot in the mountain, but his true curse will kill whomever he falls in love with. Keeping from maidens is the only way he can protect them. Spending his days reading in the library fills him with contentment, that is until a princess with opinions, confidence, and unwavering curiosity catches his attention. Gideon knows he must keep his distance from the captivating princess of Thorn, even if it goes against his desires. No matter how hard he tries, nothing stops his feelings that keep growing for Briar. With each passing day, he knows he will kill her if he can not control his heart, but how can he control his heart when Briar has permanently been etched there? With one deadly mistake, Gideon must discover a way to break his curse—or die trying. When he makes a deal to save Briar’s life, he will live with whatever consequences he has to face as long as she lives. Will one prick from the spindle of a spinning wheel save them both? Or will it keep them apart forever?
