The UK paperback editions of the Beast of the Briar series are on the way! All four books in Elizabeth Helen‘s acclaimed and best-selling series are due to be published by Magpie in the UK, on July 17th: BONDED BY THORNS, WOVEN BY GOLD, FORGED BY MALICE, and BROKEN BY DAYLIGHT.
Four handsome fae princes.
One awkward bookworm.
An Enchanted Vale.
A beastly curse to break.
Rosalina O’Connell lives her life in Orca Cove as quietly as she can.
When her father turns up missing, Rosie goes after him and finds herself in the Enchanted Vale, the land of the fae. Where her father has been imprisoned and Rosie has no choice but to make a deal with four fae Princes to take his place.
As Rosie begins to learn more about the four Princes, she discovers that they have been cursed. The Princes must take on the form of demonic wolves every night and with every year that passes, more of their magic fades away.
If the Princes can each find their mate, they will break their curse and free their realm. Rosie is determined to help them…
The only problem is, the more time she spends with the Princes, the more she’s convinced that she’s the one they’re all meant to be with.
A spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling filled with enchanted fae, morally grey characters, a stupidly hot villain and a princess who has found her Prince Charming. All four of them.
Here are just a few of the great reviews the series has received…
‘Fun, scorching hot, and absolutely ADDICTIVE. I am obsessed with this series.’ — Elizabeth May on BONDED BY THORNS
‘This book is pure, indulgent fun. Bonded by Thorns is the decadent, grown-up fairytale we all need. From the four seasonal princes to the very sexy villain, the pitch-perfect world-building, and a heroine to root for, it has everything I want in a fantasy romance. I adored every second of it and cannot wait to see what happens in the next book!’ — Melissa McTernan on BONDED BY THORNS
‘I found myself so enraptured by the story I forgot the world of reality existed, much like the main character, Rosalina. This tale is an imaginative retelling of a tale as old as time, Beauty and the Beast, and is perfection!’ — Witchy Corner Productions on BONDED BY THORNS
‘My newest fantasy escape! BONDED BY THORNS is a sweeping introduction to an enchanted fae world brimming with magic, mystery, and romance. Elizabeth Helen expertly combine fractured fairytales and beloved romantasy tropes to craft a compelling story with great characters.’ — Emily Rath on BONDED BY THORNS
‘Enchanted fae, a sexy villain, and morally grey men all wrapped up in the why-choose fantasy romance of your dreams. Beasts of Briar is the perfect series for romantasy lovers everywhere. I’m hungry for more!’ — Cleo Evans on BONDED BY THORNS
‘Rosalina’s world is upended, her heart shattered as she’s cast out from the Fae realm, and Elizabeth Helen’s WOVEN BY GOLD picks up the goddamn pieces. The sequel doesn’t just raise the stakes—it sets them on fire. War breathes down their necks, conspiracies coil tighter, and betrayal is practically a given. But through it all, the romance simmers—a carefully stoked burn that’s downright diabolical in its torment. The payoff is as devastating as it is satisfying. Rosalina’s love for her Fae Princes spreads its roots deep, the complexities laid bare in all their messy glory. Reclaiming power and finding courage run through the veins of this story, which breathes autumn—breathtaking beauty shadowed by heartache and ever-present threats.’ — Lexi Esme
