Love is a dangerous game and, in this prison, losing means death.

Janice:

After waking up in a brutal private prison, I learn quickly that survival isn't just about strength - it's about playing by rules designed to break me. My only choices? Escape or die trying. But to do that, I need help from a person who's hated me since the moment she laid eyes on me.

Rowan:

For the past year, I've fought to stay on top, trading blood for privilege in a system built on violence. Trust is a weakness I can't afford, and the reckless new prisoner is a risk I don't need. But Janice's fire stirs something in me I thought was long dead - hope. If I can get her out of here alive, maybe I can save myself too.

Beneath the Chains of Darkness is a forced proximity, dark romance. It ends on a cliffhanger but has a happily ever after. Please read the author's note on the inside for content warnings.
