#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
