The hotly anticipated sequel to the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling dark romantasy Rose in Chains. Vine of Hearts is the second book in Julie Soto’s Evermore Trilogy, returning readers to a world sparkling with dark magic and desire.

Briony Rosewood escaped the worst of it, or so she tells herself. Though forced to serve the woman who gutted her kingdom, she has, for now, the protection of the powerful Hearst family. But even they have their limits. And now Briony must do the unthinkable: share her magic, and her heart, with Toven Hearst. Once her enemy, now her tentative ally.

Forced to travel to distant kingdoms and play the part of Toven’s adoring heartspring, their very survival depends on Briony pretending to love the man whose family helped destroy her own. The cruellest part of all? Her treacherous heart has always been his. Yet while she smiles for the enemy, behind closed doors she quietly feeds the rebellion with whispered information and dangerous new alliances. And the Hearsts have secrets of their own, none darker than Toven’s shadowy, devastating gift.

Please note this is a dark romance. Perfect for readers who love a dark enemies-to-lovers romantasy, a fake-devotion slow burn laced with rebellion and secrets, and a heroine coming into the full force of her power.
