Rose in Chains

by Ella Lynch Julie Soto

4.5

The war is over, the darkness has won, and the world Briony Rosewood once knew has crumbled into ash. As the princess of Evermore, Briony finds her life irrevocably shattered when her castle falls to the enemy. Stripped of her magic and her royal status, she is thrown into a brutal auction where she is sold to the highest bidder. Her new master is Toven Hearst, a man from a family notorious for their cruelty and malice. Thrust into a terrifying new reality, Briony must navigate a dangerous game of survival and deceit. The tension between her and the cold, formidable Toven is electric, sparking a volatile enemies-to-lovers dynamic that crackles with forbidden longing. As she struggles to adapt to her chains, she realizes that the line between prisoner and pawn is thinner than she imagined. Beneath the crushing weight of her servitude, hope flickers in the most unexpected places. Briony discovers that even in a world ruled by evil, secrets remain to be unearthed and alliances can be forged in the dark. This spellbinding tale of power and passion pulls readers into a lush, heart-wrenching landscape where survival is a battle and love is the ultimate risk.

See all formats and editions 1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Soto crafts a lush, dark romantic fantasy filled with intrigue, magic, and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance. “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 New York Times bestselling author of Alchemy of Secrets 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, the world as Briony Rosewood knows it is changed forever. Evil has won, and her people face imminent servitude, imprisonment, or death. Stripped of her Magic and her freedom, Briony and the other survivors are quickly sold off to the highest bidders in an auction—and as Evermore's princess, she fetches the highest price. After a fierce bidding war, she’s sold to none other than Toven Hearst, scion of a family known for their cruelty. 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 ... “A stunning romantasy that had me riveted to the pages. Julie Soto has spun an unforgettable tale, weaving luminous and dark threads alike into a beautiful, heartrending romance. Lush, complex, and utterly engrossing.” ―Rebecca Ross, 1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals “Spellbinding … Julie Soto is a must-read author.” ―Abigail Owen, 1 New York Times bestselling author “The dark romantasy that has lived rent free in my head for years.” ―Ali Hazelwood, 1 New York Times bestselling author of Deep End ) Previous slide of product details 1.
