He broke his oath long before he broke his heart.
Dareth was once sworn to protect the innocent. Now he serves the very force he once fought against, carrying the weight of a past he cannot fully remember–and a guilt he cannot escape. When fate binds his path to Kyrael, an elven healer bound by ancient ritual and quiet grief, something within him begins to fracture.
As war stirs and old magic awakens, the two are drawn together through fragile trust, unspoken longing and wounds that refuse to heal–some carved into flesh, others into soul. The closer they grow, the more the truth threatens to tear them apart.
Because love demands sacrifice.
And some promises, once broken, demand blood.
A sweeping dark fantasy of love, loss and redemption, perfect for readers who crave slow-burn romance, aching devotion, and emotionally devastating choices that linger.
