First Severing: The Fracturing Courts of Vow & Ember

A promise made in fire can become a weapon, a refuge, or the force that changes everything.Ember & Vow is a story of loyalty, consequence, and the dangerous power of keeping one's word when the world no longer makes room for certainty. As bonds are tested by conflict, ambition, loss, and forces larger than any one person can control, the line between duty and desire begins to blur.At its center is a vow that cannot be taken lightly-and an ember that refuses to die. The choices surrounding both will shape alliances, expose hidden motives, and demand a price from everyone who believes they understand what loyalty requires.Atmospheric, emotionally charged, and driven by tension between fate and choice, Ember & Vow is for readers who enjoy character-centered fiction, high stakes, enduring bonds, and stories in which the past is never fully finished.When everything else burns away, a promise remains.
