The Ninth Vow: Mad Fox King's Guide to Winning His Bride

He has loved her for a thousand years. That is not the good news. Seraphina Marlowe is trapped in an engagement she never accepted, behind doors locked by a father who calls captivity protection. Her escape plan requires forged papers, a false identity, and one beautifully ruinous scandal. It does not require the wounded white fox that falls from the sky into her arms-or the impossible stranger she has already married in her dreams. Theron Veyr is the Mad Fox King: immortal, merciless, and catastrophically devoted. He has found the same woman across eight lifetimes, buried her eight times, and slaughtered thousands after losing the last. Now she has returned for a ninth life with no memory of him. This time, Theron swears he will approach slowly. He is very bad at slowly. But Sera refuses to become another possession disguised as destiny. Before she gives Theron her trust, her forgiveness, or her heart, she intends to uncover every truth he has hidden beneath eight graves. And if he wants a place beside her, he must prove he can do what a thousand years of obsession never taught him: Let her walk away. As Heaven's ancient machinery closes around them, Sera and Theron must break a cycle built to turn love into ownership-without allowing the monster he became to destroy the woman he claims to love. Eight graves. Nine lives. One vow she is finally free to refuse. The Ninth Vow is a dark, witty adult romantasy featuring reincarnated lovers, a morally black immortal hero, a nine-tailed fox shifter, sharp banter, an unwanted arranged marriage, obsessive devotion, separation and reconciliation, consent-centered redemption, fade-to-black sensuality, and a complete earned happily-ever-after.
