Ruthless Vows

The dramatic conclusion to the exquisitely written, deeply romantic tale that began with Divine Rivals.

Iris Winnow came home from the front lines two weeks ago, sad and battered, but the conflict is far from over. Oath remains a city of ignorance and delusion, and Roman has vanished from sight. It's only a matter of time until the fight reaches a city that is unprepared and disintegrating beneath the chancellor's dominion, so when Iris and Attie are offered another chance to report on Dacre's actions, they seize it and journey westward once more despite the danger.

Roman has not been able to recall his past since awakening below in Dacre's domain. Though unsure of his role in the larger context of the conflict, Roman starts writing articles for Dacre after being assured that his memories will return eventually. Roman is first suspicious and then interested when a mysterious letter appears by the closet door. Roman, when he begins writing to his enigmatic pen friend, will eventually have to choose between sticking with Dacre and betraying the deity who restored him. Furthermore, as the days get progressively darker and drive Roman and Iris closer together, they will have to risk everything—including their futures and hearts—in order to turn the tide of the conflict.
