The Thorn’s Little King

Despised as a powerless half-blood, Elaine is thrown into the forbidden forest by the cruel noble heir Carlos and left to die. Instead, he discovers Seroia, the legendary Thorn Queen, imprisoned beneath the roots and drained by the very kingdom that branded her a monster. When Elaine chooses to protect her rather than betray her, an unlikely bond forms between the outcast boy and the ancient giant queen. Their secret soon ignites a war. Hunted by the academy, the royal court, and those who covet Seroia’s power, Elaine must learn to command the living forest, uncover the truth behind his hidden bloodline, and prove that courage—not purity—defines a ruler. As Seroia battles the chains of her past and a corrupt crown threatens to consume the entire realm, the boy once mocked as worthless rises to challenge a false king. Together, the Thorn Queen and her “little king” will either reclaim the forest’s stolen throne—or be destroyed by the ancient powers awakening beneath it.
