Hi everyone!
Torch Lit Ink is celebrating thisย upcoming dark dystopian romanceย from Everly Claire with a book tour event!!
Title: Never Bound (The Unchained series, book 2)
๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง April 28 & April 29 **Only 2 days**
๐ฉ๐๐๐๐:
In an alternate 2025, the world is built on the backs of slaves. Louisa, the daughter of the enemy who owns me, used to think slaves weren’t people. We were forbidden from touching or even looking at each other. She didn’t even have a name to call me, since I only had a number. When we were forced together, I opened her eyes to the horror of her world, and thereโs no going back.
Now she’s about to discover that when I charmed my way into her bed, it wasnโt just because I wanted her. It was because I wanted something from her. But now? I do want her. Forever. But I’m here on a secret mission, and now new enemies lurk, threatening to expose us. And in this snake pit, neither of us knows who to trust.
Then they go after Louisa. And if I have to burn the world down, I’ll prove that even though I may be a slave, she belongs to me in every way that matters.
NEVER BOUND, book 2 in the dark dystopian forbidden romance series THE UNCHAINED, picks up where NEVER BROKEN left off. The books must be read in order. NEVER BOUND ends on a hard cliffhanger and picks up in NEVER LOST, to be released in summer 2025. Together, all three books form a complete arc with a guaranteed HEA.
