HE'S HER GREATEST ENEMY … AND HER DEEPEST DESIRE

'A dark fever dream of a fairytale. Rose in Chains is a heart-pounding, spellbinding, forbidden love story that kept breaking my heart and putting it back together again' Stephanie Garber, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Broken Heart

'Lush, complex, and utterly engrossing’ Rebecca Ross, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals

The war is over, the dark forces have won, and the hero who was supposed to save them is dead.

Captured as her castle is overrun by the enemy, Princess Briony Rosewood is stripped of her magic and auctioned off to the highest bidder.

She’s sold to Toven Hearst: scion of a family known for their cruel control of magic – and her long-time, and unresolved, infatuation. Yet despite the horrors of her new world and the role she must learn to play within it, all is not lost.

Help – and hope – may yet arise in the most unlikely of places…

New York Times bestselling author Julie Soto crafts a lush romantic fantasy that's filled with intrigue, magic, and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance.

I love this book but I won't lie that it was confronting to listen to the abuse the women in this book suffer through. The build up of the story line is slow but good. I loved the end and am waiting for Book 2 :)

Slow burn ,but worth it! Can't wait for book 2
