She breaks vows for a living. She cannot break the one that just claimed her. Solène Vael has spent eight years dissolving the empire's most dangerous promises — one gilded fracture line at a time, one paid commission at a time, never staying long enough to matter to anyone. She is precise. She is professional. She does not form attachments to the things she breaks. Then the Soleth Court sends her to Valdrath — a dying fae territory on the empire's edge, ruled by a lord with three centuries of ice in his veins and shadows that move like living things beneath his skin. Her assignment: retrieve a sacred artefact before the land collapses entirely. Straightforward. Professional. In and out. She does not expect the artefact to choose her. She does not expect the lord to follow. And she does not expect the Amareth — the oldest bond in fae law, indestructible, irreversible — to ignite between them the moment their eyes meet across a dying courtyard. Lord Aldric Ossian has kept his court alive for two centuries through discipline, precision, and the one vow he cannot speak of directly. He does not need help. He does not need her warmth, or her wit, or the way she names his shadow-cats without being asked. He does not need the bond that has now made her the most important thing in his world. He tells himself all of this. He stops believing it by the third day. As the empire's ancient Covenant crumbles and a shadowy sect accelerates the destruction of everything they both swore to protect, Solène and Aldric must cross enemy roads, navigate treacherous courts, and survive the truth about why her bloodline was specifically chosen for this mission — a truth seven hundred years in the making that will change everything she believes about her gift. Some vows are worth keeping. Some are killing the person who swore them. And some bonds cannot be dissolved — no matter how desperately you reach for the dissolution. Alchemy of Broken Vows is a lush, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy featuring a morally complex fae lord whose shadows go still only near the one woman he shouldn't want, and a vow-breaker learning that some things are built to last. Perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Rebecca Yarros. Start reading today — because once you enter Valdrath Court, you will not want to leave.
