A dark romantasy of oaths, power, and a love that burns hotter than loyalty.
Fire is not only destruction.
Fire is truth — violent, cleansing, unstoppable.
And once a vow is made in flame, it does not forget.
The Story
In an empire built on sacred oaths, power is inherited through binding — through bloodlines, crowns, and vows that cannot be undone.
But some vows were never meant to be carried by one soul.
When Seren is drawn into the orbit of the Vowbound court, fire begins to answer her in ways it has never answered anyone else. The court calls it dangerous. The throne calls it useful. And someone close enough to ruin her calls it inevitable.
As alliances fracture and secrets surface, Seren must decide what she is willing to burn: her past, her name, or the empire that wants to claim what ignited inside her.
Because fire does not negotiate.
It crowns — or it consumes.
Inside Vow of Fire
- Enemies-to-lovers tension
- Forbidden closeness and dangerous devotion
- Royal courts, vows, and political power
- Fire as inheritance, not gift
- Identity, sovereignty, and choice
Why This Story Burns Differently
Vow of Fire treats magic as structure, not spectacle.
Power is enforced through vows. Loyalty is policy. Desire is a liability.
This is not a story about discovering power — it is about surviving once power discovers you.
