The Covenant of Thorns

In the aftermath of a landmark church-state ruling that tore a nation apart, two powerful families bound by blood feud are forced into a political marriage. Behind the facade of perfect love on magazine covers, they monitor each other's every breath, weaving a dark tapestry of surveillance, betrayal, and calculated murder. As a cold-eyed forensic pathologist peels back the layers of staged accidents and poison, the couple discovers that the true mastermind is the monstrous legacy of the old case itself, proving that the gears of fate never halt for anyone's desperate plea.
