PRE-ORDER THE NEW SWEEPING ROMANTASY FROM THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERS ELIZABETH HELEN . . .

Bonded by Thorns was a TikTok sensation and one that well deserves its popularity . . . This is an unmissable series

I found myself so enraptured by the story I forgot the world of reality existed, much like the main character, Rosalina. This tale is an imaginative retelling of a tale as old as time, Beauty and the Beast, and is perfection!

Bonded by Thorns by Elizabeth Helen is a steamy Beauty and the Beast retelling featuring four fae princes and one bookworm, who quite literally stumbles into their magical and dangerous world. It was a pageturner from beginning to end and I can’t wait to read the second book in the series

Fun, scorching hot, and absolutely ADDICTIVE. I am obsessed with this series.

Elizabeth May, #1 Sunday Times Bestselling author of The Falconer series

My newest fantasy escape! Bonded By Thorns is a sweeping introduction to an enchanted fae world brimming with magic, mystery, and romance. Elizabeth Helen expertly combine fractured fairytales and beloved romantasy tropes to craft a compelling story with great characters.

Emily Rath, USA Today bestselling author of North is the Night

Bonded by Thorns is a fairytale for grown-ups sinking its thorns into your heart and refusing to let go. It’s a wild, beautiful ride with steam that drips off the pages. Elizabeth Helen weaves a story where the “why choose” romance is a complex braid of roses, that'll have you thirsty for every last drop of love, even as the thorn pricks make you bleed. Prepare to be hooked until the very last word—and then left fiending for the next instalment

Enchanted fae, a sexy villain, and morally grey men all wrapped up in the why-choose fantasy romance of your dreams. Beasts of Briar is the perfect series for romantasy lovers everywhere. I’m hungry for more!"

Clio Evans, author of the Creature Cafe series

This book is pure, indulgent fun. Bonded by Thorns is the decadent, grown-up fairytale we all need. From the four seasonal princes to the very sexy villain, the pitch-perfect world-building, and a heroine to root for, it has everything I want in a fantasy romance. I adored every second of it and cannot wait to see what happens in the next book!"

Melissa McTernan, author of Wolf Brothers series

Elizabeth Helen's Bonded By Thorns takes Beauty and the Beast and turns it on its heels. This innovative blend of beloved romantasy tropes paired with a steamy romance featuring not one, but four princes, is now my favorite way to experience the fairy tale classic'

Frankie Diane Mallis, author of Daughter of the Drowned Empire

A princess bound by duty. A warrior destined to kill her. A love that could burn the world. 
 
Berri, Princess of Carthas, has spent years sacrificing her life force to sustain the magical shield protecting her city from deadly storms. But despite her power, she is imprisoned by those who fear her magic. One day, she dreams she will choose her own fate. 
Tiro Straith has been raised for one purpose: fulfil a prophecy and save his people. His mission is simple. Cross enemy lines and assassinate the princess. 
 
 But the moment he meets Berri, everything changes. He has seen her before. In his dreams. 
 
Drawn together by a cosmic bond neither can explain, they uncover a shared destiny tied to the ancient stormbirds – legendary creatures whose power lies at the heart of four devastating storms ravaging their world. 
 
As the tempests converge and war looms on the horizon, Berri and Tiro must decide whether to follow the paths laid out for them or risk everything for each other.

Elizabeth Helen is the combined pen name of the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling sister writing duo, Elizabeth and Helen. Elizabeth and Helen write fantasy romance, and love creating enchanting adventures for their characters. When they're not writing, you can find them snuggling their cats, exploring their rainforest home, or rolling the dice for a game of Dungeons & Dragons.
