Vows Written in Emberlight

A wedding vow broken in blood forges a bond that cannot be escaped. Lysara Venn was meant to save kingdoms, not burn them. A gifted healer whose light once mended the wounded, she watches her father die at her own wedding when her betrothed betrays her mid-vow. The magic meant to unite them twists into something darker-an oath-bond that chains Lysara forever to the man who shattered her life. Caedon Thorne did not betray her for power.
He did it to save his sister. But mercy has a cost, and the price is paid in fire, ice, and seven days of forced proximity as ancient law demands the bonded face judgment at the Tribunal of Ashenmere. Hunted by enemies, tested by impossible trials, and bound by magic that burns lies and rewards truth, Lysara and Caedon must confront the betrayal that destroyed them both. Hatred keeps them alive. Understanding may destroy what remains.
Because broken vows do not fade. They demand payment. A slow-burn romantasy filled with oath magic, dangerous trials, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a bond forged in flame.
