Forsaken Vows: A Bond Written in Blood and Magic

The alliance that was supposed to save the realm nearly killed them both.

Lyra wakes from the ritual with her mentor dead, her magic hollowed out, and a bond burned into her skin that she never agreed to carry alone. Kael is somewhere in Shadowspire, not answering, and the council wants her stripped of her title before she's even out of the infirmary bed.

Then Thane finds out what the bond really is — and takes it straight to the High Council as proof of treason.

With both factions turning on them, Lyra and Kael have twelve days to reach the Heart of Elryth and finish a rite that could either seal the ancient power clawing at the realm's ley lines or unravel what's left of them. The road runs through mountains that don't forgive mistakes, allies whose loyalty hasn't been tested yet, and a bond that keeps rewriting the terms of what they owe each other.

Forsaken Vows is Book Two of the trilogy that began with Cursed Alliance — a blood-oath romantasy of betrayal, sacrifice, and a love neither the light nor the dark was built to hold.
