The Thorn Queen: The Rose Bargain #2

In **The Thorn Queen: The Rose Bargain #2** by **Sasha Peyton Smith**, glittering royal fantasy meets sharp-edged **fae romantasy**, with a marriage that looks perfect in public and feels like a trap in private.

Ivy has done the unthinkable: she’s wed faerie King Bram and become Queen of England. His coronation cracks open the border between worlds, flooding Britain with the Others—beautiful, cruel, and eager to reclaim their favourite human amusements. Ivy plays the devoted wife to keep herself alive, all while quietly working to banish Bram, rescue her sister Lydia, and find her way back to Emmett—the boy she can’t forget.

Meanwhile, Emmett and Lydia are stranded in the Otherworld, where deadly games and court politics make loyalty a liability.

Perfect for readers who love **forbidden romance**, **court intrigue**, and **fairy tale retellings** with high stakes and sharper choices. Step back into this dangerous bargain and see what a queen will risk to win.
