Vow Blades

The gods chose them as weapons. Fate made them each other’s weakness.

Aelthiria and Varkhaal have been at war for generations,
each fed carefully crafted falsehoods designed to keep blades drawn
and hatred burning. But when the gods stir once more, their
deception begins to unravel, revealing a prophecy neither kingdom is
prepared to face.

Two warriors, born on opposite sides of the battlefield, carry the
power to save the realm... or destroy it completely.
Tove, a fierce commander forged in loyalty and loss.
Riven, a deadly prince raised to hate everything she stands for.
Both marked by ancient magic.
Both chosen by old gods who have been silent for centuries.

When fate forces them together, their worlds collide in a storm of
clashing steel, forbidden longing, and truths sharp enough to cut
through the lies that shaped their lives. To survive,
they must put aside the hatred bred into their bones... or watch the
realm fall to the darkness rising beneath it.

Enemies-to-lovers. Forced proximity. Ancient prophecy. Dragon-bound magic.
