"They left me for dead. Now, I’m the one who owns the graveyard." Caleb Vane was the loyal protector of the Vane dynasty until his own siblings framed him for treason and left him to perish in a high-security black site. But Caleb didn't die; he evolved. Five years later, he returns to the city under a new identity as a global venture capitalist. He isn't back for an apology; he’s back to liquidate their assets, expose their sins, and watch their "glory" turn to ash. As he buys up their debt and seduces their allies, Caleb must decide if his "Rise in Glory" is worth the soul he lost in the betrayal. "Crown of Thorns" is a cold, calculated, and high-fashion thriller about the dark side of legacy.
