Oath

<p>A lord in a gilded cage.</p><p>A knight forged in war.</p><p>An oath that binds them tighter than chains.</p><p></p><p>Lord <strong>Aerion Valemont</strong> is everything the court whispers; vain venom-tongued and untouchable in his sapphires and silk. But behind the peacock feathers lies a man raised in a cage of duty bitterness and the crushing weight of a dying dynasty. Better to mock the world than let it see the cracks beneath his mask.</p><p></p><p>Sir <strong>Clyde of Blackholt</strong> the king's most feared hound arrives sworn to Aerion's protection. A man of war not words Clyde's silence is a shield as much as his sword. But in that quiet lies something Aerion cannot ignore: a gaze that sees too much and a loyalty that cuts deeper than he dares admit.</p><p></p><p>What begins as venom and disdain becomes something sharper-letters passed through battlefields glances heavy with what cannot be spoken a devotion tested by blades assassins and the cruelty of court. In the gilded halls of Valemont where heirs are bartered like coin and bloodlines weigh heavier than desire a single oath may cost them everything.</p><p></p><p><strong>For fans of <em>Captive Prince</em> and <em>A Taste of Gold and Iron</em> this is a lush slow-burn romantasy about yearning loyalty and love that defies crowns and cages.</strong></p>
