She was born to be the spark that would burn it all down.
In a kingdom ruled by a ruthless council, loyalty is bought with blood and magic is controlled through fear. Vaelen is their most feared enforcer — a man trained to destroy, obey, and never feel. His name is whispered like a warning. His presence is a promise of ruin.
Llyra was never meant to cross his path.
When an ancient, forbidden ritual binds them together against the council’s will, their lives become entangled in a way neither of them can escape. A magical bond coils between their souls — tightening, burning, awakening something dangerous and unstoppable.
The bond should not exist.
The council will not allow it.
And the realm demands one of them be sacrificed.
As political games grow deadlier and the shadows within the court begin to move, Llyra and Vaelen must navigate betrayals, forbidden power, and a fate designed to break them apart. Every choice brings them closer to war. Every touch threatens to expose what could end them both.
He was never meant to love.
She was never meant to kneel.
Together, they become something the realm cannot control.
The Villain’s Vow is a dark fantasy romance filled with morally grey devotion, slow-burn tension, a forced magical bond, and high-stakes political intrigue — where love is rebellion and choosing each other may cost them everything.
Perfect for readers who
• Enemies-to-lovers energy
• A morally grey hero who would burn the world for her
