Chained

A Choice of Light and Dark, Book 1

By: Lacey Lehotzky

Narrated by: Daphne Fields, Gideon Frost

Narrated duet-style by Gideon Frost and Daphne Fields.

Years in chains have taught Princess Izidora one harsh truth: trust no one. When she is finally freed on her twenty-first birthday, Izidora finds herself in an unfamiliar world brimming with danger and intrigue. Surrounded by the warriors who rescued her, the lost princess remains guarded as they journey toward Vaenor, the heart of the vicious Night Realm. Yet, her resolve is tested by High Lord Kazimir Vaszoly, the formidable leader of the Nighthounds. He seems to orbit her like she's his sun, ever-present and unyielding, especially when her traumatic past threatens to consume her. As their journey progresses, Izidora's distrust blooms into something far more potent and unsettling—an irresistible attraction that could unravel her carefully constructed defenses.

But in a realm ruled by a mad king and filled with scheming courtiers eager to exploit her naivety, Izidora and Kazimir must navigate a perilous path. Will their developing love survive their arrival or will they be torn apart at the whims of the mad king?

Chained is the first book in the bestselling dark romantasy series A Choice of Light and Dark. With a cast of morally grey characters, MMCs with touch her and die energy, and a prophecy that will change the course of history, dive deep into this dark + spicy story of trauma healing and finding love. Perfect for fans of Gild (The Plated Prisoner Series), To Bleed a Crystal Bloom, and Game of Thrones. Chained contains scenes and themes that some readers might find disturbing.

Okay

I liked a lot about this book doesn’t get me wrong I HATED the mate shit like it seriously took them the whole book to realize they were mates I mean seriously are they dumb. Overall tho I liked the characters they were fun and funny and I genuinely enjoyed the book. I did also hate at the end where she like has all this power n shit but just stood there watching her friends fight for her n shit like idk man.

If you’ve read any other fantasy book, you’ve already read this one

A girl gets rescued from a tower, takes a bunch of baths and eats a whole lot. Despite the fact that she’s been in iron chains her whole 21 years, she’s super strong and definitely the chosen one. Also, they bang. This book could have been a novella.

Love this book

Spoiler: I fell in love with the book once their relationship blossomed. Him teaching her how to hone in on her magic, absolute perfection. The end of this book had me pacing my floors.

was not worth the credit

The summary of the book was interesting sn ran along the lines of the books I normally read however I feel that the narration was relatively OK with what it had to work with but the book just seemed very slow and had a lot of unneeded additives to make it longer which I think took away from the story which caused me to lose interest and have boredom not really wanting to finish the story even though I wanted to know the end I guess is the best way I can explain it

PLOT PLUS SPICE

I love a book that I can read that has a good plot line while still having the spice and romance that makes it appealing. This book, not only has the plot line that doesn’t make me want to gouge out my eyes, but also has such a good storytelling. The people reading fit the book perfectly. Overall an amazing book!
