The Oath That Burns: The Oathbound, Volume 1

By Ezren Holloway

"We are born in silence, named by fire, and broken by the oaths we forget to speak."

In a world where memory is currency and power is promised, one woman carries the fire of a forgotten god.

Serah Vael is a name few remember-and fewer dare speak. Once an oathbound assassin exiled by the very order that forged her, she now bears the Flame of the Unburied: a living relic that devours memory and brands the soul. Hunted by cults, haunted by a past she can no longer trust, and drawn to the Godscar where the world first bled, Serah must decide if she is still a blade-or something far more dangerous.

Alongside her fractured twin, a chaos-born cleric, and a war-scarred titan, she journeys through a land built on broken faith and dying magic. Each step unearths the price of power. Each vow threatens what little she still remembers of herself.

The Oath That Burns is the first volume of The Oathbound-a mythic epic of divine ruins, memory-forged magic, and characters who carry fire where belief once lived. For fans of Sanderson's oath-magic, Erikson's tragic vastness, and Jemisin's revolutionary mythcraft, this is the saga where the gods are dead, but the oaths still burn.

How do you kill a god?

You remember what they tried to forget.
