SHE GOT EVERYTHING SHE ASKED FOR. SO WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE SHE'S LOST IT ALL?

Rose Kultavaris survived the Retterheld. She reclaimed her magic. Her title. Her place at court. But victory can be a hollow thing.

Her sister's decisions have left her life in turmoil and the crown which Prince Kyor chose over her remains firmly on his arrogant head, while the tension between them is enough to rip the sky apart.

The palace celebrates her as the gifted, yet behind gilded doors alliances shift, secrets surface, and the past refuses to stay buried. When the answers she needs lie beyond the city of Wrohelm, Rose is forced to leave its walls behind and chase the truth herself.

Old betrayals cut deeper than any blade, while new truths shatter everything she thought she knew. Rose is more alone than ever, and her power, now reclaimed, proves far more dangerous than anything else she has faced.

In a court built on lies and ambition, Rose must decide what she truly wants: vengeance, love, or something far more dangerous … freedom.

Vows of Blood and Deception is the unforgettable second instalment in the bestselling enemies-to-lovers romantasy series, featuring broken trust, impossible choices, bonded dire wolves, political intrigue, and the kind of slow-burn yearning that will make you scream.

This is a story of heartbreak, betrayal, and the kind of love that refuses to die.
