Queen of Thorns and Sorrow

In a world reborn with forgotten magic, a cynical orphan wields a terrifying, forbidden power fueled by the negative emotions of her enemies. Her sole purpose: to protect her younger brother, a boy whose soul is inextricably bound to her own by an ancient, divine prophecy. Hunted by holy orders who deem her a heretic and courted by otherworldly entities, she must master her dangerous gift to survive. From the hallowed halls of magical academies to the perilous depths of otherworldly realms, she will gather a legion of outcasts and forge her own destiny. But as she grows from a feared outcast into a formidable queen, she uncovers a truth that pits her against the gods themselves—a fate that demands the ultimate sacrifice to save everyone she loves.
