Description

🥀Venture to the Spring Realm with Rosie and her princes in this third instalment of the steamy SUNDAY TIMES bestselling Beasts of the Briar series🥀

A woman reborn as fae.

A new mate bond.

A curse to break.

A coming war.

Since journeying to the fae realm, Rosalina O’Connell has discovered that she is the fated mate of both Prince Keldarion and Prince Farron. Rosie has also learned that she is half fae.

When goblins attack Castletree, using steel from the Spring Realm, Rosie and the princes must travel to Spring to solve this deadly mystery.

In the Spring realm, Prince Ezryn’s brother is set on bringing the realm to ruin. To stop his brother’s evil plan, Prince Ezryn, High Prince of Spring, must reclaim his birthright and break his curse.

Could Rosie be Ezryn’s salvation and the key to saving Spring?

The third book in the Beasts of the Briar series, a spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling filled with morally grey characters, a sinfully hot villain and a princess who has found her Prince Charming. All four of them.
