A Trial of Thorns

A Court of Fairy Tales, Book 2

By: Helena Rookwood, Elm Vince

Narrated by: Lucy Brownhill

A Court above the clouds. Ten fae champions. A kingdom to be won.

Torn from Thorne's side, Aster finds herself bound to Faolan by the magic of a faerie bargain. To pay off her debts, he expects her to compete in the Alder Trials, a deadly competition to determine the next King or Queen of Faerie.

And not only is Aster a human competing against the impossibly powerful heirs to the Fae Courts, she soon discovers that Thorne will also be competing...

Against her.

Exposed to the cruel, cunning politics of the Fae Courts, Aster must risk everything both in and out of the trials.

And at the end of it all, which will she choose—a faerie kingdom or her heart?

It was okay

I can never understand how 18 year old or 21 year old can compete and defeat fey who are 100s years older in wisdom when in the book it keeps reminding us the readers that the fey is so adapt in word play.

A TRIAL THROUGH THE THORNS

THIS SERIES IS BLOWING ME AWAY. THE TRIALS ASTER HAS TO FACE AND IN THE END. THE ALDER KING FAERIE MUST DIE IN ORDER FOR THE POWER TO THE NEW KING OR QUEEN.
PRINCE FAOLAN IS A TREACHEROUS SNACK.
