A Vow of Ash and Vengeance

By Brandon Rohrbaugh

You thought the first Trials were brutal? Welcome back to the arena.

Months after Evaine Vale survived what should have been her last day, she's hiding with the Rebellion in the snowbound wilds, nursing wounds that go far deeper than scars. But the Empire never forgets-and it never forgives. When an act of betrayal shatters their fragile peace, Evaine and her friends are thrown back into a new game, where the rules are written in blood and loyalty is a double-edged sword.

This time, the arena is a graveyard of secrets. Ancient magic stirs beneath the city. Old enemies and new monsters are closing in. And Evaine's heart is torn in two-between Cassian, the one she can't forget, and Thorne, the one who keeps breaking through her walls. Every glance, every mistake, every desperate choice is watched by a world hungry for spectacle.

In Oridwyn, hope is dangerous, love is a liability, and sacrifice might be the only way out. Evaine will have to decide who she can trust, what she's willing to fight for, and how much of herself she's willing to lose. Not everyone will make it out. Not every heart will survive.

A Vow of Ash and Vengeance is a dark, sweeping romantasy-full of jaw-dropping twists, fierce betrayals, and the kind of yearning that burns long after the last page. The arena is calling. Will you step inside?
