About this audiobook

USA Today bestselling author Julie Soto crafts a lush romantic fantasy that’s filled with intrigue, magic, and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance.

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…

Rose in Chains a Harry Potter fanfic read. This reading experience was hard to put into words. I absolutely loved the set up of the magicians, school, rivalry and found this book infuriating at the same time. This book had me confused in the beginning with the different plot points. This book kept me guessing and rooting for different parties at different times in the book. I absolutely loved the woman camaraderie and the secrecy. The magic and world building definitely picked up in the second half of the book. Which helped to understand more. I was all for the banter between the love interests and the slow burn. I favored Toven’s character over Briony (mostly due to her naivety. I will be continuing the series and look forward to the release of book two.
