THE BLOOD STAINED VOW

“He took everything from me—then swore to protect me. I forgave him. But I never forgot.”



Sereya Valtore was born a legacy—heir to a blood-stained name and a crumbling empire. To save her family’s last breath, she’s forced into a political marriage with Kaelen Dravik, the cold and ruthless heir to the dynasty that destroyed hers. Their union is a truce. A power play. A prison wrapped in silk.



But on their wedding night, her father is assassinated—and Sereya is left in enemy territory with no one to trust and everything to lose.



As betrayal bleeds through both houses, Sereya must navigate deadly alliances, hidden assassins, and the slow, suffocating pull of a husband who’s supposed to be her enemy—but protects her like something precious. Kaelen is unreadable, calculated, lethal—and yet in the dark, he begins to show her pieces of the man behind the title.



She tries to resist. He doesn’t ask her to.



And somewhere between vengeance and survival, hate starts to crack.



But when Sereya uncovers the truth behind her father’s murder—that it was Kaelen who gave the order—she must make an impossible choice:



Forgive the man she’s come to love or become the queen her enemies fear.



In the end, she does both.



Because love was never the goal.



Power was.



And when Kaelen finally lets his guard down, when he believes he’s won her heart for good…



She pulls the trigger.



“I forgave you,” she says.

“But I never forgot.”
