Books like Violet Made of Thorns by Gina Chen
Violet is a prophet in a royal court, renowned for crafting clever yet sometimes untrue divinations that sway the political landscape. Her reputation as a liar leads to conflict with Prince Cyrus, who plans to remove her from her official position after his coronation. A new challenge arises when the king requests that Violet falsely prophesy Cyrus’s romance for an upcoming ball, an act that unleashes a curse threatening either doom or salvation for the realm, contingent on the prince’s future marriage. Violet must decide whether to seize control of her destiny at great personal cost or succumb to the growing, ill-fated attraction she feels toward Cyrus. While her wit may help her survive cutthroat court intrigue, it cannot alter her fate. As the line between disdain and affection blurs, Violet confronts a web of deceit she must unravel to save herself and the kingdom—or doom them all.
