Oaths & Vengeance

Realm of Zadrya #1 / 2
by Susan Illene
Oaths & Vengeance (Realm of Zadrya #1) by Susan Illene
Unrated

Darrow is death on the battlefield.
He crushes the enemy with his mind and slays with his sword.
This powerful elf is an adversary I can't hope to defeat.
But I need his help.
He'll only give it if we marry in secret.
And I have to open portals for him whenever he wants.
My family will kill me if they find out about any of it.
I have no choice.

Aella either has a lot of nerve or courage to ask me for a favor.
I should kill the half-druid where she stands.
Except she has mastered a rare ability I need.
I plan to bind her to me and get my revenge.
I tell myself I won't touch her, that she repulses me.
It's a lie.
And it isn't long before I want to own every part of her.

Curses chain us both.
I am incapable of love.
She can't escape her warmongering uncle.
But soon, we realize we're also each other's potential cure.
Somehow, we must look beyond centuries of bloodshed and familial hatred.
Especially once we realize the fate of our world may depend upon it.

Welcome to the Realm of Zadrya, where nothing is as it seems, not the people, plants, or animals. Whether it's beautiful, foul, or just odd, it's all dangerous. If you decide to step into this strange place of magic, mystery, and deception, please try not to get eaten along the way. We'd hate to lose you before the end.

Note- This novel is an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romantasy with an FMC in her thirties and an MMC in his forties. It contains adult content, including graphic violence, foul language, rough spicy scenes, and torture. There is also a sentient murder garden that the FMC tends for therapeutic reasons, and so it can chomp on her enemies, which also soothes the soul. Some readers may find these moody plants with attitudes disturbing, along with other oddities in this fantasy world. Read Oaths & Vengeance at your own discretion.
