Description
What binds a Dragon shifter, a Princess seeking salvation in the North, and a desperate crime syndicate?
Welcome to Vicerona, a hub of debauchery ruled by crime lords, where Dragon shifters are imprisoned for crossing the wall, and Blood Witches threaten from the North.
Keagan Ragnor faces a dire threat: a plague ravaging Dragon shifters. To save his family, he must brave the perilous journey across the wall to secure the elusive Crimson Shard.
Princess Avalon Tremaine refuses to accept her fate of an unwanted marriage. With the Crimson Shard as her only hope, she must defy her destiny.
Meanwhile, Malcolm Thorpe, Rowena Blackridge, and Zedock Cannon—a trio of audacious criminals—embark on their most daring venture yet: the pursuit of the elusive Crimson Shard, a gamble that could erase their debts or seal their doom.
Who will reach the shard first and at what cost?

Featured Reviews

Fast paced and loveable characters! The storyline is detailed and holds your attention. All the characters are in their mid to late twenties and have been through some things which makes the characters more relatable and enjoyable when reading NA.
Even though we have trigger warnings I’d still call this a cozy read 😅 I say that because the world building is not in-depth and can easily be followed, the characters were easy to understand, the dialogue, espionage and romance is all on the surface and not hard to connect. I also loved the banter and donkeys 😆.
Recommend this to those that need a great read after a book hangover.

Thank you NetGalley and Brittany Gossin for giving me an ARC of your book Unbound! This review is my own honest opinion.
This was a great first book in the series, with so many wonderful fantasy elements that readers love! There is a princess that gets betrothed against her will that is a badass in her own right, dragonshifters, blood witches, magic and betrayal, and a group of thieves. There are twists and turns, forbidden love, humor, secret identities, adventure and action.
The main characters are well written and the reader is able to see the story unfold from each different perspective. You will celebrate their successes, feel their fears and hatred, and feel the warm and fuzzies as they fall in love. The story is paced quickly and kept me drawn in with every page turned. Gossin is a great world builder describing each scene wonderfully so I felt like I was walking through a quaint small town or soaring in the sky on a steampunk ship.
I can’t wait to see where this series heads next!
