Overview

The Orchard and the Wound Book I of The Thorn Cycle When the gods stopped listening, the world learned to pray to its own ruins. In a kingdom where magic is outlawed and mercy is mistaken for weakness, Asha Verrin hides her forbidden gift behind the guise of a village healer-until one act of compassion reveals the power she was never meant to wield. Caught between a mother's plea and a soldier's command, Asha's flame ignites an ancient bond with Commander Kael Ardent-a man bound by oath to the very throne that hunts her kind. What begins as survival becomes devotion, and what devotion awakens will burn through kingdoms. But the fire that saves also remembers. And the Orchard-a sentient remnant of the old gods-has begun to stir beneath the soil, whispering promises that sound like love and warnings that feel like fate. The Orchard and the Wound is the opening to The Thorn Cycle-a haunting, slow-burn romantasy of power, mercy, and becoming. Perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, Carissa Broadbent, and Erin Morgenstern who crave lyrical prose, forbidden magic, and love stories that linger like prophecy. ★ Themes: forbidden magic - slow-burn romance - mythic realism - devotion and power - the cost of mercy Love is not what saves you. It's what teaches you how to endure the fire.
