Chained - Chained Trilogy #1

Elise Marion

Sinopsis

House Toustain … House Maignart … two royal houses once embroiled in a bloody feud … Thirty years of peace now broken in an instant …

Sir Caden Maignart has been captured, beaten, locked in a dungeon, and wrongfully accused of kidnapping and oath-breaking. Determined to free himself and his men, and clear his besmirched name, Caden does not count on the willful nature of his captor, Lady Gwendolyn Toustain, the daughter of the man who was once his father's mortal enemy. After several attempts at escape, the lady orders him bound and chained to a wall in her chambers—where he will remain under her personal guard at all times and kept from conspiring with his men. While the lady's high-handedness infuriates him, Caden cannot deny that everything else about her drives him to distraction. Forced into close proximity with her, Caden soon finds it hard to remember his mission of escape.

When Lady Gwendolyn of House Toustain first lays eyes on her prisoner, one thing about him is abundantly clear: Sir Caden of Daleraia is a dangerous man. Yet, she must show him no fear. The captured band of knights from Daleraia are her only clue in the mystery surrounding the disappearance of House Toustain's sons, and it falls to Lady Gwen to seek justice. Is this kidnapping merely the ploy of mercenaries out for a ransom? Or has Sir Caden acted on the order of the High Lord of Daleraia and broken the peace? As she searches for the answers, she never expects the surge of passion that ignites between herself and her prisoner. The longer he remains in her clutches, the more Gwen realizes that though she has him chained, she is the one who has been captured.

The Land of Shadows has been partially restored thanks to Adi and Duncan’s efforts, but two parts of the pentagram remain covered in rot and weeds. Their efforts, however, are stymied when they find themselves up against a powerful and mysterious foe who’s intent on capturing the Urn of Immortality.

First, though, Adi has something personal to handle as she stumbles upon a familiar face at the southern edge of the Land. Her old boss Billy has arrived at Death’s door, dazed and confused but with all his usual crusty wit intact.

Her cheerful offer of help, however, is set against a background of looming darkness. Another uninvited guest arrives in the form of a playful imp, and this one is an unwelcome face to the older Keepers. The imp’s arrival heralds a series of phantom problems, each different from the last as the waves crash toward a crescendo of trouble that threatens the safety of the Urn. Now Adi must discover Billy’s unfinished business while keeping the Urn safe from the onslaught of phantoms.

Shadow and light collide as the Keepers fight against time to discover the true culprit behind the encroaching darkness before they’re all swallowed in its cold embrace.
