The Violet Made of Thorns series launched in 2022 with a debut novel that became a New York Times bestseller. The story follows Violet, a seer serving a king who must navigate prophecy, court politics, and her complicated feelings for the prince she has been ordered to help.
Gina Chen’s world-building draws on fairy-tale tropes while subverting expectations. Violet is a heroine who lies as naturally as she breathes, and the tension between her prophetic abilities and her personal desires drives the story forward. The series continues to build on the foundation laid by the first book.
