A Kingdom in Chains by A.M. Rodgers

The magic of the Northern fae has vanished. Humans now rule with chains and cruelty. Winnie, powerless and broken, is sold as a living doll to a sadistic queen — nothing more than entertainment for her depraved court of twisted pleasures. But in the blood-stained halls of Verin, Winnie finds the one thing more dangerous than her captors: her fated mate.

One touch changes everything.

That single touch with Driss — the queen’s dangerously lethal favourite — ignites a primal bond that burns through every defence. Forced to hide their connection, Winnie and Driss must perform for their lives, sacrifice pieces of their souls, and walk the razor’s edge between survival and surrender. Every glance risks torture. Every touch risks death. Yet in a world ruled by fear and brutality, their forbidden love becomes the spark of rebellion — a fierce, burning hope that might free them from their chains…or reduce the entire world to ashes.
