Synopsis:
In the kingdom of Adania, everyone knows what Princess Alyrra did to earn the court’s contempt, her mother’s disdain, and her brother’s hatred.
She betrayed her own.
Yet, the truth hides another story, one of honor and honesty, of a princess gambling her own life for another’s. It’s a tale of courage and consequences, and a choice that can never be undone.
A short story prequel to her multi-starred fantasy, Thorn, Intisar Khanani’s “Brambles” gives Alyrra’s account of what really happened all those years ago, and how a few critical days turned her life into a daily fight for survival.
Review
When we first meet Princess Alyrra in Thorn, she is an unloved outcast of a Princess. She seems to have a heart of gold; how is she so unloved and mistreated by the townsfolk and her family. Well, it turns out it all cause she chooses to stand up for what is right and not allowed spoiled people to rule the world. The cost is higher than anyone could imagine. Your eyes will open your eyes to the events that happen in Thorn. An excellent novella to tide us over till the sequel comes out.
