The Princess Behind Thorns (Thorns Saga, #1) by Cheryl Mahoney

By Book Goodies Leave a Comment

Princess Behind Thorns Cover

For this princess forced under an enchantment, escaping from her spell is only the first ordeal. Claiming the throne is even more dangerous.

Princess Rose Amelia has spent a hundred years trapped in a magical garden, surrounded by walls of thorns that protect her from rescuers she never wanted. Nothing ever changes – until the spell twists to threaten her as well, and a prince finally breaks through the thorns.

Prince Terrence knows he would never be his father’s preference to inherit the throne. But he also knows his oldest brother won’t take care of their people, and rescuing the Princess Behind Thorns is the only way he can become heir. He planned on marrying her to claim the inheritance; he didn’t plan on falling in love with her.

Escaping from the magical garden and returning to court will plunge Terrence and Rose both into a deadly world of politics, intrigue and betrayals. Making a claim to the throne doesn’t guarantee it will be accepted, and deciding to marry doesn’t mean that they actually can. To protect the country and themselves, they must learn who to trust and who is an enemy – and somehow learn how to admit their feelings for each other too.

This fantasy romance, the first in a series, brings a new angle to the story of Sleeping Beauty by starting where most versions end. If you enjoy heroines finding their strength, fantasy worlds with a touch of intrigue, and slightly magical cats, you won’t want to miss the Thorns Saga.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
This book began as a short story about a princess trapped in a magical garden. By the end of the story, I had two lead characters I really enjoyed who were falling in love with each other, but it was also clear that escaping the garden would only lead them into more crises when they returned home. As I continued to explore what would happen next, the story kept growing – until now it's a planned five book series!

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Rose and Terrence both subvert fairy tale expectations. Although she seems to be Sleeping Beauty, Rose is both literally and figuratively awake, in terms of having agency and impact on the story, and making her own choices. Terrence isn't a warrior prince; his great strength is kindness.
