About this ebook

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.

Just as charming as THORN, BRAMBLES takes the reader on a brief yet touching journey, giving us insight into Alyrra's early life. From this story, I got an even stronger sense of Alyrra's moral character and the decision she'll be called to make in the later book. Also, I somehow loathed Valka even more. If that's possible. To see her conniving and scheming up close, with personal details about the suffering she loves to inflict upon people who've done her no wrong... Ugh. Made my blood boil. But it also got me excited to re-read THORN, so. Give this book a try! You won’t be disappointed.
