The biggest thing Lyra Bloom knows about dragons is a lie.

Reassigned from the brutal Citadel and sent to the Northern Peaks to fight exiled dragons, Lyra knows exactly what the orders mean: a one-way trip. A death sentence. But when Talen arrives to rescue her in a form she can barely comprehend, Lyra is taken to a hidden camp where every truth she was taught begins to unravel.

Dragons may not be the monsters she was raised to fear. The Citadel’s cruelty may be hiding something far worse than control. And the power threaded through Lyra’s veins may be more dangerous than anyone realised.

And when the Blood Moon rises, Lyra will face the ceremony meant to separate the worthy from the weak. It will tear open her Threads, expose the truths she has buried, and force her to face everything she has spent years trying to survive.

But surviving the ceremony may not be enough, because something dark is growing beyond the Northern Peaks... A black mist that even the dragons fear...

Oaths of Ruin is a slow-burn epic fantasy romance with dragons, being released in two volumes. Volume I: Blood Moon is available now, with Volume II coming soon.
