Bloomsbury presents Seven Deadly Thorns by Amber Hamilton read by Kate Handford

The Cruel Prince meets Powerless in this dark academia romantasy that will tattoo itself onto your heart.

In the cursed Kingdom of Aragoa, the punishment for magic is death.

Even the students at Vandenberghe Academy aren't spared. When Viola Sinclair's deadly shadow magic is discovered, the queen gives her assassin a new assignment and a new cursed tattoo: seven-thorned rose on his arm for the seven days he has to hunt Viola down and kill her. If he doesn't, he will be the one to die.

The assassin is Roze Roquelart--entitled prince, arrogant fellow student, and the one person Viola hates more than anyone. Roze should revel in the chance to end her life, but he desperately needs something from Viola and her magic. And he’s willing to spare her life--and fake their engagement--to get it.

Forced to work together, Viola and Roze must contend with deadly threats, dangerous secrets, and an impossible attraction. Will they give in to their deepest desires, even if it means destroying Aragoa--and risking both their lives?

HER WORST ENEMY. HIS ONLY CHANCE.

Be swept away by the sizzling, irresistible enemies-to-lovers romantasy with magic more destructive than your darkest nightmares.©2025 Amber Hamilton (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Romance Science Fiction & Fantasy Royalty Heartfelt Magic

Critic reviews

Enticing worldbuilding and heart-stopping plot twists add darkness and grit to this enemies-to-lovers tale.
Breathes new life into familiar tropes through sharp writing, a rich atmosphere, and magnetic character dynamics. . . . Compelling, dramatic, and equal parts sizzling and sinister.
Hamilton weaves elements of “Beauty and the Beast” and “Snow White” to create a sexy, alluring romance about embracing one’s own darkness.
Amber Hamilton’s scintillating enemies-to-lovers romantasy novel [is] both familiar and deliciously inventive.

Oh my, oh my! What a ride this was. From one nonsense to another we went! How many plot holes is in here, nobody knows! The main character is described as smart, yet all she does is being stupid. I don't want to spoil too much, so I won't list all the silliness of this book, but it's awhile now since I read something that contradicted itself so many times. But the narrator did a great job!

I've got 99 nonsense
