Chains of Stone – Book 1

A rich heiress falls for the slave rebelling against her family’s empire

Two tales of forbidden love intertwine in this dark fantasy romance. A stoic heiress set to inherit her mother’s business finds herself falling for a slave who is forging a rebellion against her. Meanwhile, a mad queen decides to marry a slave-turned-prince even though he plans to kill her.

Both unlikely pairs must choose between love and duty. Are they willing to give up everything they hold dear to protect each other, or will they end up slitting each other’s throats?

★★★★
A YA fantasy that is spice free, but has the slow burn feel between the two MCs. It has forbidden love, a conflicted morally grey female MC, a kind-hearted slave love interest, and a wicked mother.
