#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

A Must Read!

It was u comfortable to read b/c it had handmade’s tale vibes and I usually wouldn’t read such books b/c of the trigger warnings. Elliot Brooks said this was going to be a book everyone was anticipating to read so I gave it a shot. The story was very good and I can’t wait to see what happens but some of the scenes were too much for me.

Story is good but intense

From start to finish this was SO GOOD. I read and listened but the narration really amplified the story for me!

I ATE THIS UP

The narrator is not my favorite. The accent and tone was off putting at times. The way she spoke as the male made me cringe.

However, the story more than makes up for it. I couldn’t stop listening!

I wasn’t sure at first…

Briony Rosewood - Toven Hearst. Tropes: Slow Burn, Enemies to Lovers, Forbidden Love. This story has been reimagined from the fanfic The Auction. The Auction is one of the best books I’ve read this year. One of the best books I’ve read EVER. Having said that….I. AM. SCREAMING. (Internally of course) This book was excellent! Just absolutely superb in every way. I am distraught that it’s over and I have to wait more than a year to read book 2 and then again another wait for book 3. There is no chance that I’ll forget what happened in this book though so I know I will pick up book 2 with no issues connecting the dots. I will be thinking about this book until book 2 is available.
Pro’s:
All of it
Con’s:
No cons. All pro’s.


5 star stuff. Just perfection.
