Crown of Thorns
The road had no end. Until the wolf chose him.
He has no name.
No crown.
No past he’s willing to claim.
For three years, Frans has survived the wilderness—alone, unseen, and unclaimed—save for one constant: a silver wolf who walks beside him like fate given form.
But when a ghost appears at a frozen crossroads… everything changes.
A kingdom is dying under a usurper king.
A rebellion is rising in whispers and blood.
And Frans is no longer allowed to be nobody.
Because the truth is far more dangerous than exile—
He is the rightful king.
Dragged into a war he never chose, Frans must lead strangers who believe in him more than he believes in himself. But crowns are not won by survival alone… and destiny demands more than a blade.
It demands trust.
It demands sacrifice.
And it demands a love strong enough to break him—or remake him.
As the rebellion grows, so does the pull between Frans and the one person who sees through the man he pretends to be… to the king he fears becoming.
But in a world of betrayal, ghosts, and blood-soaked thrones—
love is not a sanctuary.
It is a battlefield.
And not all endings are merciful.
One crown. One wolf. One fate that will not be denied.
