She was trained to kill him. Destiny marked them to love.

The mark only appears once—at your soulmate’s impending death.

Kaela Vale was forged into a weapon by the king's assassins, raised to kill without mercy and live without love. In a kingdom where magic is outlawed and soulmarks are a forgotten myth, Kaela has always believed survival demands loyalty—not heart.

Until the night a burning glyph scars itself across her skin.

Until the night she meets him.

Elias Theran, rebel prince and heir to a fallen throne, leads a revolution that could tear the kingdom apart. Kaela’s mission is simple: infiltrate his ranks. Gain his trust. Kill him before the rebellion takes root. But the closer she draws to Elias, the harder it becomes to deny the soulmark that binds them—and the prophecy that demands one of their deaths.

As ancient magic stirs and forbidden memories rise, Kaela faces an impossible choice: sacrifice Elias to save the realm… or shatter fate itself to save him.

Because this isn’t the first time she’s loved him.
And it won’t be the first time she’s destroyed him.

If Kaela can’t break the curse, the cycle will claim them both—again and again.

Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, From Blood and Ash, and An Ember in the Ashes, The Ember Vow is a haunting romantasy debut filled with fated lovers, deadly betrayals, forbidden magic, and devastating emotional stakes that will leave you breathless for more.
