Queen of Thorns by Joel C. Flanagan-Grannemann
Blurb:
A Fantasy Adventure Story of Oppressed People Standing Firm Against Tyranny
Join Canin and his party of fellow Elenite (half-Human, half-Fairy) Thorn Brothers and Thorn Maidens as they complete their revenge mission in a nearby Human village.
They're after a man who killed his wife years before. Canin had sworn to protect the wife, and was trying to help her escape to the safety of the Exile Forest. The husband also led a group who massacred those from the Forest who came looking for Canin when he fled in shame (leading to him meeting Talia and her party in Talia: Heir to the Fairy Realm, Book One of this series).
After they find their vengeance, accompany them as they rescue a sizeable group of weary and wary
displaced Human women and children and convince the group to trust them and
accompany them home to the Exile Forest.
Sadly, not everything is as it seems in the Sanctuary village once they arrive. There's a traitor in their midst!
War with the Human King and his Lions (evil Elenite blood users) is about to break out, and, as usual, Canin and his wife (the Fairy soldier Spearhead) find themselves in the middle
of all the conflict, fighting for a safe home for their adopted daughter, the ever-growing
baby Aurora.
