Oathbound (Volume 1) (The Royal Rose Chronicles)

From the Author\nI am so excited to share this world and these characters with you! Oathbound was one of those books that once I started dreaming about it, I knew I had to write it.

His obligations are tinged with betrayal, for his oathbind must be fulfilled. To ignore it is to invite peril of unimaginable destruction.\nAs the adventure unfolds, the sea takes more than she expects and the sea gives more than he wants.

I'm so excited you are here and that I get to share The Winter Charlatan with you! This is my absolute favorite in the series (are authors allowed to have favorite books, or is that like having a favorite child?). Rowan was such a fun main character to write, as she is so different from Anika and Cosette. She's fierce. She's strong-willed. She's almost as cold as the ice around her. And she's determined above all else to take back what life denied her when her mother traded her away.This book is everything I hoped it would be, and I hope you love it.
