I’m a princess in a gilded cage.
My brother calls it protection. The court calls me a cautionary tale. They say that Kalan, the enemy prince, kidnapped me and forced me to marry him and that war with the scum of Unseelie is inevitable.
But I can’t remember any of it.
All I have is a ring I can’t remove… and dreams of a man I crave like sin. He has the same eyes as the guy I once trusted with a perfect one-night stand—only now he’s older, dangerous, and calling me to him.
Tonight, I escape.
With the help of my loyal friend, I’ll run from my brother’s guards, break the marriage spell and find a way to undo the magic that blocks my memories. And then I’ll end my brother’s lies and propaganda to our people.
I am ready to risk everything—even the chance of Kalan catching me and locking me in his castle, forced to share a bed with a husband I don’t remember. And facing the 3 ancient trials that can break any spell just to be free.
Because the truth might be far more dangerous than his captivity: What if I didn’t get stolen at all? What if I chose to marry the enemy… and betrayed my kingdom and my right to the throne?

– enemies to lovers
– fated mates
– forced proximity

– found family and light wit
– 3 ancient fae trials
– Scottish adventure

Praise for A Court of Fire and Thorns
“Once again, author Reut Barak weaves her magic as she takes into the world of the Fae and she does it so well, I feel as if I am right there with Freya and Aila. Her stories are always filled with danger and good versus evil and trying to do the right thing. Her couples always end up going through so much to be together that we just can’t stop ourselves from hoping against hope that they do get their happily ever after. I always look forward to reading anything by Reut, be it fractured fairytales, or stories about witches or even the Fae and I can’t wait for the final book in the series to come out!” – C. Grover on Amazon
“This was one of those reads that completely swept me away and didn’t let me go—I finished it feeling like I’d been fully immersed in another world. From the very beginning, A Court of Fire and Thorns pulled me into a fae realm that feels both beautiful and brutal in equal measure. There’s this incredible balance between lush, almost enchanting world-building and a constant undercurrent of danger that kept me completely hooked…What I loved most was how emotionally engaging the story was. The romance didn’t feel like it was just layered on top of the plot—it was woven into everything. The tension, the longing, the conflict… it all felt so alive. I found myself completely invested in the characters’ choices, especially when they were forced to navigate loyalty, power, and desire all at once. Every twist felt intentional and satisfying. I especially loved how the stakes kept building without losing the emotional core of the story. If I had one tiny wish, it would only be that I could’ve spent even more time in this world with these characters—that’s how much I enjoyed it.” – Lilith’s Library
“When I started reading the book, Freya’s amnesia mirrored my own distance from the earlier books, making the mystery feel personal… As Freya pieces together what really happened, the tension between what she’s been told and what she begins to feel pulls the story forward relentlessly. The court intrigue is sharp, her brother’s manipulation is infuriating in the best way, and Kalan is exactly the kind of morally compelling love interest this genre does well when it’s firing on all cylinders. The enemies-to-lovers dynamic lands because Barak earns it. This isn’t instalove dressed up in conflict. Freya’s resistance feels grounded, and watching her reckon with the possibility that she chose this, that she isn’t the victim everyone insists she is, gives the romance real stakes.” – LadyRuna, on Amazon
“I liked to see Freya learn to trust Kalan again, that they figured out information that can change everything, and they don’t give up. I can’t wait for the final book.” – KAG on Amazon
“There’s so much in this story I was literally immersed in this world until the end. I honestly loved this story and can’t wait for the next book” – Jess Boschock, on Amazon.
“This is book three of the Fae of Syke series. This is a steamy, fantasy romance. Lots of action, secrets, court intrigue, mystery, forgotten memories, and romance. This book has strong, well-developed characters and an interesting story line that keeps you turning the pages. Great characters that make the story come alive. Pain and passion radiate from them. The plot draws you in so that you can’t put the book down because you need to know what will happen next. I can’t wait for the next book!” – Jennifer on Amazon
“If you love fantasy books along with some major emotional drama, then this is probably the series for you.” – Snackatack on Amazon
“There is a lot of political intrigue and maneuvering. Both Freya and Kalan have to decide how to move forward from where circumstances place them. I think this is a good book and I am very invested in how the story moves on from the cliffhanger. All in all I have enjoyed this series so far.” – Sandra, Amazon reviewer
