The Gilded Oath: A Mughal Romantasy
She can feel every broken promise. He has been breaking them for eleven years. This was never supposed to work.
On the empire's most dangerous frontier, every merchant caravan hides a secret and every alliance has a price.
Noor Bashari arrives in Ranthavar with two things she has told no one about: a marriage contract negotiated without her input, and a gift she has spent twenty-one years hiding. She can feel broken oaths like heat against her skin, every false promise, every violated trust, every lie told with a smile. In a city built on trade and espionage, this makes her extraordinarily valuable.
It also makes her extraordinarily dangerous.
Her new husband, Darian Khān, is everything his appointment says he is, efficient, composed, impossible to read, and nothing else it implies. Because Darian is not simply a provincial administrator. He is the Emperor's most feared intelligence operative, running a double allegiance that has kept the western frontier stable for eleven years and could get him killed if either empire discovers the full truth.
He agreed to the marriage for practical reasons. He did not expect Noor.
Within days of her arrival, she knows he is lying to everyone. He knows she knows. And when a Safavid intelligence network begins moving against the province, threatening to expose Darian's identity and unravel two years of careful work, the only way to stop it requires them to do the one thing neither of them was built for:
Trust each other completely.
The Gilded Oath is a sweeping clean romantasy of broken promises, impossible alliances, and a love constructed carefully and deliberately on the only foundation strong enough to hold it, the truth.
Perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes, Flame in the Mist, and The Gilded Wolves.
