THE BLOOD OATH
When the sacred Blood Oath binding two kingdoms is shattered by a new king's ambition, the fragile peace of nineteen years begins to unravel. Davan, commander of the joint border garrison, has carried the oath in his blood since he was seventeen — a scar on his palm, a quiet hum of something larger than himself. Now, with armies massing on both sides of the Karath river and war days away, he discovers a secret buried by the last oath-keeper: the oath can be rebound. But the magic that built the peace demands a price, and Davan must decide how much of himself he is willing to give to hold a world together that may not deserve it.
