Rose in Chains by Julie Soto

A kingdom has fallen. A princess has been chained. Hope may survive in the last place she ever expected to find it.

Rose in Chains follows Princess Briony Rosewood after the war is lost, her brother is killed, and her homeland falls to its greatest enemy. Stripped of her magic and sold at auction to Toven Hearst—a powerful noble from the conquering kingdom and the object of her long-held, impossible feelings—Briony must navigate captivity, political schemes, and a world where nothing is as it seems. As buried secrets surface and loyalties begin to shift, she discovers that survival may depend on trusting the very man she was taught to fear.

Julie Soto delivers a lush, dark romantasy layered with enemies-to-lovers tension, intricate magic, and political intrigue. Atmospheric, emotionally devastating, and full of slow-burning yearning, this first installment of the Evermore Trilogy explores power, sacrifice, and the resilience of hope in the aftermath of war.
