ROMANCE WRITERS OF AUSTRALIA RUBY WINNER (SPECULATIVE FICTION) 2023

Isabel Maddock is living a lie. She is betrothed to a man she loathes, living in a place she does not belong. But the home she craves no longer exists, and the people from her youth are gone. Or are they? The wastelands are calling, but they are not for the faint of heart. Luckily a certain defender is close by to keep her safe. Very close. Too close. Into the wastelands they go, equally unprepared for what they will discover…

Ryder Blackmane is a defender for life. His comrades are his family, and keeping them safe is all he has to offer the world. So when they are sent over the wall to investigate happenings in the east, he goes willingly, immune to everything outside of his orders. That is until he meets Lady Isabel. She is a caged bird whose scars call to his. Best to ignore the calls and follow orders. Follow orders. Follow orders. Loyalty is everything, but the lines are blurring…

Kingdom of Chains is a standalone medieval dystopian romance. If you like a dark setting, heart-pounding action, and witty dialogue, then this epic love story is for you.

Trigger warning: Domestic violence (not between hero and heroine).

Tanya always writes the most amazing books! This was a can't put down kind of read which led to a very late but enjoyable night of reading. I loved every second of Isabel and Blackmane's story and she does such a great job of building worlds and relationships. Tanya is the one author I recommend time and time again because she has never disappointed and this one fully delivers from laughs, to stolen moments it has it all!

Kingdom of Chains has it all. An obsessive and toxic love, finding oneself, humor, suspense, healing and true love. Isabel is someone who shows you that you are stronger than what you think and can anything with perseverance. This book and the companion series Defender of Walls would be perfect for a young reader.

Tanya can’t write a bad story. She is an amazing author and I love her humor. This story is no different. It delivers on all the feels. This story does feel a bit rushed in comparison to her other stories but still an enjoyable read.
