The Shattered Vow: A story of power, betrayal, and a vow that could break a kingdom.
A vow was meant to protect her kingdom. Instead, it destroyed it.
In a world divided by shadow and light, Tirien has spent her life hidden among mortals—haunted by memories that don’t belong to her and a magic she can’t explain. When a whisper from the old realm calls her home, she’s thrust into a fractured world of fae and forgotten oaths—one teetering on the edge of ruin.
In the heart of the fortress once ruled by her bloodline, Tirien must navigate political deceit, forbidden magic, and the ghosts of those she couldn’t save. The Hollowweave—the ancient force binding life and death—has awakened inside her, and its power doesn’t come without cost.
As war brews between realms, Tirien’s path crosses with Caelwen, a fae lord bound by his own secrets, and Eryndor, whose loyalty could either save or doom them all. Each carries scars, each hides a truth—and the fate of both worlds will depend on whether Tirien can mend what was broken… or shatter it beyond repair.
Full of haunting prose, slow-burn tension, and the ache of redemption, The Shattered Vow weaves a story of magic, trauma, and the courage to rebuild what darkness has destroyed.
