BLOOD OATH-A New YA Fantasy Romance SERIES

Blood Oath, STORM BREAKER (#1)

"This is an absolute must-read for those who adore books like Throne of Glass or The Shadows Between Us. Blood Oath is a dazzling start to what I am sure will be an unforgettable series." - CHICAGO PRESS

 

In a world where magic is punishable by death, seventeen-year-old Allyria Pilar faces execution for saving a girl accused of witchcraft. Her only escape? A blood oath to the Death Dealer of Redbone, the king's most feared contract killer. Forced to bind herself to him or die in the prison of Redvine, Allyria's fate takes a dangerous turn.


Thrust into a brutal realm where survival hinges on combat, Allyria is torn from her home and trained under Cassius, the enigmatic Captain of the Death Dealer's immortal guard. Her goal: to win the deadly Elder Tournaments, a series of brutal trials that pit the most powerful fighters against each other, and earn her freedom.


But when the murder of a fae prince pushes the world to the brink of war, Allyria and the Death Dealer must join forces in a desperate bid to save their world—both human and immortal. As the stakes rise and the lines between duty and destiny blur, Allyria must navigate a war-torn land, confront her growing feelings for the Death Dealer, and decide where her true loyalties lie.


Can Allyria rise to become the hero her world needs, or will she let it plunge into eternal night?

Meet the Characters OF STORM BREAKER

    the elder tournaments, storm breaker (#2)

    Only the strongest survive. Only the chosen shall rule.

    The world is healing, but peace never lasts. In the wake of the brutal attack on Obsidian, Allyria Pilar is thrust into the heart of the Elder Tournaments—ancient and unforgiving trials that will decide the future of the immortal realm.


    But this year’s tournament is unlike any before. Vampires, fae, werewolves, and immortals from every corner of the known world will gather to compete in a blood-soaked battle for glory, legacy, and the ultimate reward: to be named the heir to the Prince of Obsidian.


    In a society where bloodlines mean nothing and power is earned through combat, Allyria must push herself beyond every limit she’s ever known. With whispers of prophecy clinging to her name and the Trident’s Shell still missing, her every move is shadowed by those who would see her rise—or fall. Cassius’s training grows ever more brutal. Psyche swears an unbreakable oath to protect her. And the Death Dealer—prince of the immortals—remains distant, bound by duty and secrets too dangerous to name.


    But the Elder Tournaments are not just tests of strength—they are battles of will, loyalty, and identity. As Allyria forges unlikely alliances and confronts betrayals that cut deeper than any blade, she must ask herself:


    What will she sacrifice to win?
    And what part of her will survive the cost?


    A brutal, breathtaking sequel to Blood Oath, The Elder Tournaments plunges readers into a realm of shifting loyalties, deadly ambition, and the unrelenting pursuit of destiny.
