The Cage of Chaos
What would you do if you found out your soulmate was responsible for your greatest tragedy? Nara Laverran has spent her life searching for answers about the massacre that destroyed her childhood home and family. When her mysterious powers suddenly awaken, she finds herself face-to-face with Seth Vaerien-the silver-haired, storm-eyed guardian who's been watching her from the shadows for twenty years.
The truth? He's responsible for all of it. Seth has spent decades fighting the monster inside him, a revenant of pure Destruction that once made him the perfect weapon.
Now he'll do anything to protect Nara from the forces hunting her-even if it means confronting the darkness they share. But Seth isn't the only one with a claim to Nara. Osiris, his former lover and leader of the mysterious Ennead, will stop at nothing to reclaim Seth's loyalty.
As ancient powers resurface and deadly secrets unravel, all three will discover that some bonds transcend fate... and some betrayals can never be forgiven. THE CAGE OF CHAOS is the first book in the gothic fantasy romance duology The Ennead, where gods left pieces of themselves behind and the monsters we become are the ones we choose to be.

4.25 ⭐ This was full of witty banter and savage one-liners! The character dynamics were a wild ride with a mix of a love triangle tension and found family feels! Nara, the FMC, seems to struggle with her own personal dynamic. She's quick with the banter and snark, yet still comes across as a little docile and innocent. Seth, one of the MMCs, is angsty and constantly at war with himself. Osiris, the other MMC, is all sorts of jealous, broody energy and his lines were on par! "Orbit her all you want ... I'll always be who you reach for in the dark." 👀 I really wish the different POVs were labeled, because there were a few times I had to restart a chapter to figure out whose POV I was in. A few chapters in the middle also dragged a bit, but just when I started to get restless the worldbuilding pulled me back in. The lore sprinkled throughout was such a highlight and I'm hoping book 2 dives even deeper! The cover is gorgeous and now that I finished the book I love spotting all of the little details that tie into the story. Overall, this was a strong start to the duet! Despite a few pacing and POV hiccups, I’m completely invested in this chaotic, god-filled mess. Thanks to the author and Untold Stories for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!
