A fiery, curvaceous woman in her mid-thirties who abandoned the safety of human society to chase the dangerous thrills of the Thorn Court. Iris is a wildfire incarnate—impulsive, fearless, and constantly seeking the next rush of adrenaline. She's a skilled herbalist and hedge witch who uses her knowledge of poisonous plants and forbidden magic to navigate the treacherous fairy realm. Unlike others who fear the deadly games of the court, Iris throws herself into them with reckless abandon, finding ecstasy in dancing on the knife's edge between life and death. Her hunger for risk has earned her both admirers and enemies among the fae, who are simultaneously enchanted and unsettled by her mortal audacity. She lives for the intoxicating danger of bargaining with immortal beings, exploring cursed forests at midnight, and testing just how close she can get to the flames without burning. Her past is marked by a series of near-death experiences that would traumatize most, but only feed her addiction to adventure.

The enigmatic Prince of the Thorn Court, Lysander is beautiful and cruel in equal measure. With silver hair that gleams like moonlight and eyes the color of winter storms, he has ruled for centuries with an iron fist wrapped in velvet. His cold demeanor masks a complex history of betrayal and loss that has hardened his heart. He collects secrets like others collect jewels and uses them as weapons in the endless games of court politics. Despite his reputation for ruthlessness, there are whispers of a tragic past—a curse, a lost love, or perhaps both. He is driven by an obsession to maintain control over his court and uncover the truth behind an ancient prophecy that threatens to upend everything he has built.
