Bonded by Thorns by Elizabeth Helen (Hardback)

An awkward bookworm’s life changes completely when a desperate search for her missing father leads her into the Enchanted Vale, a hidden realm of magic and fae. Determined to save him, Rosalina O’Connell makes a dangerous bargain that costs her freedom and binds her to four mysterious fae princes.

The princes are handsome, powerful, and cursed. Every night, they transform into demonic wolves, and with each passing year, their magic weakens further. Breaking the curse depends on each prince finding his fated mate and restoring what has been lost. Rosie agrees to help, believing it is the only way to save both her father and herself.

As she spends more time in the Enchanted Vale, Rosie discovers that each prince is completely different. One is kind and intelligent, another is deadly and secretive, another charming and playful, while the last is fierce, stubborn, and strangely determined to keep her close. What begins as a simple bargain soon becomes far more complicated as unexpected feelings develop and the lines between duty and desire start to blur.

Yet the curse is only part of the danger. The magic of the Enchanted Vale is under threat, and an alluring, dangerous Prince of Thorns has his own plans for the realm. With time running out, Rosie must decide how far she is willing to go to protect the princes and the enchanted world she has come to care about.

Filled with fae magic, curses, romance, and growing danger, this spicy retelling delivers an enchanting fantasy adventure that ends on a cliffhanger.

Perfect for readers who enjoy romantasy, Beauty and the Beast retellings, fae romance, fated mates, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, why choose romance, and magical worlds filled with morally grey characters.
