Thorns of Fate is the haunting first installment in The Thornforged Chronicles, a dark fantasy saga of survival, alchemy, and the cost of becoming a weapon in someone else's war.

Rescued from captivity as a child, Elora is brought to the Miros Institute by Tehvan, who raises her as his own and shields her from the Institute's harsh realities. While others endure cruelty under the ruthless dictatorship of Headmaster Thorn, Elora's privileged upbringing enables her to focus solely on her education and dreams of becoming an Empire Alchemist.

But when the safety Tehvan has provided is abruptly torn away, Elora is thrust into the oppressive life her peers have always known. For years, Master Thorn has waited for this moment, eager to tear her from Tehvan's shadow and mold her into a weapon for his own personal vendetta.

Now Elora must find the courage to stand against those who seek to break her in body, mind, and soul. But is survival worth it if the price is losing her humanity?

Perfect for readers who love:

Emotionally raw, character-driven fantasy
Oppressive magical academies
