The General's Oath: Book One of The Bloodbound Crown

By Avery Nightwell

- A kingdom marked her for execution.
- The ritual bound her to the enemy instead.

Seris was meant to die.

Branded a Kingdom-Breaker, dragged before the altar in chains, she was supposed to be sacrificed to secure the Crown's power.

But when the execution ritual misfires, it doesn't kill her.

It binds her.

Now her life is tethered to the most dangerous man in the realm-
General Kaelor Vireth, the Crown's undefeated war commander... and the man ordered to deliver her for execution.

If she dies, he dies.
If he bleeds, she feels it.
And the closer they stand, the stronger the bond tightens.

The court calls it a mistake.
The temple calls it unstable magic.
The king calls it treason.

But the battlefield has no patience for politics.

With enemy forces advancing and the royal court turning on them both, Kaelor must choose between obedience to the throne and the woman fate refuses to let him kill.

And Seris must decide whether the man sworn to execute her might be the only one willing to burn the kingdom down to keep her alive.

Because some oaths are spoken.

And some are written in blood.
