Captured as her castle is overrun by the enemy, Briony Rosewood knows that the world as she knows it is changed forever. The dark forces of Bomard have won and her people, the Eversuns, face imminent servitude, imprisonment or death. Her brother, fated to be heir twice over and unite the warring kingdoms, is dead.
Stripped of her Mind Magic and her freedom, Briony and the other survivors are quickly auctioned off to the highest bidders in an auction—and as the heir-apparent’s sister, she fetches the highest price.
After a fierce bidding war, she’s sold to none other than Toven a high ranking Bomardsun—and her long-time and ill-fated infatuation. Scion of a family known for their cruel control of Heart Magic, the Hearsts are ruthlessly ambitious, and Briony knows they will use her however they can to further their own interests.
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…
2. VINE OF HEARTS by Julie Soto
SYNOPSIS
Briony Rosewood escaped the worst of it―or so she tells herself. Being forced to serve the woman who betrayed her family and gutted the Evermore kingdom is the closest thing to safety she could ask for. But even the protection of the powerful Hearst family has limits, and now Briony must do the unthinkable: share her magic―and her heartbeat―with Toven Hearst. Once her enemy… now her tentative ally.
Forced to travel to distant courts and glittering foreign kingdoms, Briony plays the part of Toven’s adoring heartspring, smiling for the enemy while secretly feeding the rebellion. Every whispered confidence, every stolen moment, becomes a weapon as she gathers information and forges dangerous new alliances. It’s devastating to pretend she’s in love with the man whose family helped destroy her own. But the cruelest part is that her treacherous heart has always been his.
But the Hearsts harbor secrets of their own―and none is darker than Toven’s shadowy, devastating gift. For any of them to survive, Briony must learn what Toven can do… and what he can undo. Because when the lost daughter of Evermore finally chooses where her heart belongs, everyone will come to know the full force of their combined power―and her wrath.
