Oaths & Vengeance (Realm of Zadrya, #1)

Darrow is death on the battlefield.
He crushes the enemy with his mind and slays with his sword.
This powerful elf is an adversary I can't hope to defeat.
But I need his help.
He'll only give it if we marry in secret.
And I have to open portals for him whenever he wants.
My family will kill me if they find out about any of it.
I have no choice.

Aella either has a lot of nerve or courage to ask me for a favor.
I should kill the half-druid where she stands.
Except she has mastered a rare ability I need.
I plan to bind her to me and get my revenge.
I tell myself I won't touch her, that she repulses me.
It's a lie.
And it isn't long before I want to own every part of her.

Curses chain us both.
I am incapable of love.
She can't escape her warmongering uncle.
But soon, we realize we're also each other's potential cure.
Somehow, we must look beyond centuries of bloodshed and familial hatred.
Especially once we realize the fate of our world may depend upon it.

Welcome to the Realm of Zadrya, where nothing is as it seems, not the people, plants, or animals. Whether it's beautiful, foul, or just odd, it's all dangerous. If you decide to step into this strange place of magic, mystery, and deception, please try not to get eaten along the way. We'd hate to lose you before the end.

Note- This novel is an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romantasy. It contains adult content, including violence, foul language, rough spicy scenes, torture, and a sentient murder garden that takes no prisoners—maybe not even you. Read Oaths & Vengeance at your own discretion.
