A Whispered Oath

Madeline R. Behr

When Azyliz murders the Order's knights, he seals his pact with death. He flees from Wedunia, hoping to escape the man who has tortured him for a century.

Marianne, who is blamed for the death of her brother and sister, chases after him, a last intent to redeem herself to those who see her unworthy of being a knight.

When she finds him, the magical artifact Azyliz stole binds their souls together. Shunned and hunted, Marianne and Azyliz flee into the forest, where so many have found their brutal ends.

They find comfort in each other’s company, and their bond begins to flourish. Will they escape the monsters of their past? Or will they lose even the shreds of their broken selves?
