The Chains Undone (The Battleboxer Trilogy #2)

Only one man can make him question if freedom is truly all he wants.

Handlers deserve to be hated. Yet Imalroc finds himself following his tempting, trusting handler Rerdas into sinister new arenas. He can’t bring himself to hate Rerdas, and his feelings are deepening like quicksand. Freedom from the battleboxes was the dream that kept him alive. There’s a chance to make the dream true, and he can’t let any man, even one he might fall for, stand in his way.

Rerdas returned from Draal with a secret that could start a war. If he wants the people he loves to survive, he must use the Duke of Umber to escape the political trap closing around them. But feigning a relationship with the duke feels like betrayal when it’s in front of the battleboxer who is stealing his heart. The same man he’s asking to bleed for him in one battlebox after another.

This is the sequel to The Sword Unbroken. It is the second book in the Battleboxer Trilogy, a high-heat m/m Romantasy trilogy that should be read in order.
