Cage of Thorns

By Carla Van der Westhuizen

The Broken Crown: Book 1 Cage of Thorns

A Dark Omegaverse Reverse Harem Romance

She was a billionaire's daughter. Then she became a starving stray.

Lily Sterling has spent three years hiding her true nature as an Omega, swallowing toxic suppressants to survive on the brutal streets of Brooklyn. When her abusive boyfriend crosses an unforgivable line, she flees with nothing but fourteen dollars and a forged identity.

Desperate, she applies for a position at Thorne Enterprises-the very empire that destroyed her family. What she doesn't know is that Cyrus Thorne, the ruthless Alpha King of New York, has been waiting for her. Along with his brothers Ezra, the calculating Systems Expert, and Kai, the brutal Enforcer, they see through her disguise in seconds.

They should throw her out. Instead, they claim her.

Trapped in a gilded cage of dark desire and absolute possession, Lily must surrender her body, her brilliant mind, and her broken heart to the three monsters who ruined her past-and now demand her future. But when the ghosts of Brooklyn come hunting, the Thorne pack will burn the world to keep what's theirs.

Content Warning: This dark romance contains explicit scenes, power dynamics, and themes of past trauma and healing. For mature readers only.
