Throne of Thorns: The Duchess's Rebellion

Forced into a political marriage, Elena is imprisoned in a gilded castle by a cruel Duke who treats her as property. When a low-born slave-gardener named Arthur saves her life, their forbidden passion ignites a dangerous rebellion. As the Duke's tyranny escalates, Elena secretly funds their uprising while Arthur rallies oppressed slaves and builds a covert army. During the Winter Festival, they launch a daring assault on the castle. With Arthur fighting the Duke's elite guards, Elena sheds her submissive facade and strikes down her tormentors. Together, they overthrow the old regime, abolish slavery, and rise to power, claiming both freedom and a love that defies every social boundary.
