Description
Thorn by Intisar Khanani follows Princess Alyrra, who has never enjoyed the security or power of her rank. Between her family's cruelty and the court's contempt, she has spent her life in the shadows. Forced to marry a powerful foreign prince, Alyrra embarks on a journey to meet her betrothed with little hope for a better future. But powerful men have powerful enemies—and now so does Alyrra.
Betrayed during a magical attack, her identity is switched with another woman's, giving Alyrra the first choice she's ever had: to start a new life for herself or fight for a prince she's never met. But Alyrra soon finds that Prince Kestrin is not at all what she expected. While walking away will cost Kestrin his life, returning to the court may cost Alyrra her own. As Alyrra is coming to realise, sometimes the hardest choice means learning to trust herself.
The story is inspired by The Goose Girl fairytale by the Brothers Grimm.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Thorn by Intisar Khanani is an engaging, dark reimagining of "The Goose Girl," featuring Middle-Eastern influences with themes of hidden truths and royal intrigue. It is praised for its depth in character development, particularly as the protagonist Alyrra gains confidence and learns to uphold her principles. The book explores deeper themes of violence and trauma while maintaining the core elements of the original fairy tale, drawing comparisons to works like The Wrath and the Dawn.
