People often fantasize about being swept up into a magical world where they were thrown into mythical wars and epic love triangles. My sister and I used to be just like them, until it happened.
The wondrous start our family presented was a façade, intending to hide their ulterior motives and the darkness that lurked around every corner, stalking us like prized hogs. We enjoyed bacon as much as the next gals, but we never intended to be sows for a royal family, despite us being Oedinia’s long-lost water nymph princesses.
Despite our protests, our birth family forced us to be pawns in their twisted games, and we watched as our lives and sanity crumbled before our eyes. It wasn’t just our lucidity at stake, though. Our mates and best friend’s were bound to crash down at any moment. They had stayed so strong while we fell apart, but we saw the cracks that the combined trauma brought on.
There was still some fight in us, and we knew one day this would all be worth it, but we questioned how much more we could take and if we would live to see ‘one day.’
This is a why-choose, dark romance with FF and MM that follows twin sisters, Cora and Lena. All CW’s can be found at sullynshaw.com.

Reading "Tethered in Torment" offered me a unique immersion into a richly crafted dark fantasy realm filled with complex characters and emotional stakes. The story's portrayal of twin sisters, Cora and Lena, as water nymph princesses thrust unwillingly into a brutal royal game, really captures the tension between destiny and free will. What intrigued me most was how the theme of forced proximity drove the romance amidst chaos and heartbreak. It’s compelling to see FF (female/female) and MM (male/male) relationships explored within a context where both love and survival are intertwined. As a reader, I appreciated the storyteller’s delicate handling of taboo elements like familial relations and the emotional depth added by fated mates struggling to hold their bonds intact under pressure. The references to 'our mates and best friend’s bound to crash down' highlight how trauma impacts not only the protagonists but those close to them, enriching the narrative beyond a typical romance plot. This realistic portrayal of emotional toll adds to the story’s immersive quality. I also enjoyed discovering the mythical setting of Oedinia and the lore around water nymph princesses, which provided a fresh backdrop to the classic enemies-to-lovers trope. Additionally, the mention of "why-choose" dynamics offers a refreshing subversion of conventional romance arcs, allowing characters to explore complex relationships without forced monogamy, enhancing the story’s originality. If you're drawn to dark, emotionally charged romances loaded with mythical intrigue, forced proximity tension, and morally complex characters, this novel is truly worth checking out. It’s a perfect blend of fantasy and romance that doesn’t shy away from exploring darker themes with empathy and passion.
