Trial of Thorns — Stacey Trombley

All that's standing between me and freedom are eleven bloodthirsty fae.As a convicted assassin, I've been banished from the fae realm for years but now I have the opportunity to compete in a ruthless competition to earn a full pardon.Dragons and twisted mazes are the least of my worries now.I can handle a few bullies and death-defying challenges. The thing that will keep me up at night is having to face those I betrayed. Especially Reveln, the prince whose brother I killed. Every time I see the hatred in his eyes it reopens old wounds, a reminder of the destiny that was stolen from me. And I only have myself to blame.But I'll find a new destiny-by winning the Trial of Thorns.The whole realm thinks I'm weak but I'm stronger than they could ever imagine. By the time this is through-I'll bring them all to their knees.
