Thorn-haired outcast battles betrayal and ancient rites for a stolen crown

Lina Navera draws her first breath with bark for skin and thorns for hair, a sight that horrifies parents consumed by physical perfection. They carry her into the Forbidden Forest and leave her to die. A witch discovers the infant and raises her among ancient trees. Years later, Lina shares a profound bond with Lark, a companion who loves her unchanged. An enchanted stream transforms her appearance entirely, stripping away the bark and thorns. The water also reveals Lark's hidden identity as the crown prince of Riviera, a man already pledged to marry Verei.
