I thought the emperor loved me.
Then he discovered the silver mark on my chest, proof that I descended from the dynasty his family destroyed three hundred years ago, and paid a witch to turn me into a fox.
By the time I make it back to the imperial capital, he is preparing to marry someone else.
I should want revenge.
Mostly, I want my life back.
A potion gives me a few precious hours in human form, enough to hide behind a false name and step back into the court that betrayed me. Enough to search for a way to break the curse before it takes the rest of me with it.
Then I meet Auden.
He is everything I no longer know how to trust: gentle without being weak, protective without asking for anything in return, and far too good at seeing the parts of me I would rather keep hidden.
I know better than to fall for another man.
Unfortunately, my heart seems to have learned nothing from experience.
And Auden is only the first.
Because the deeper I dig into the magic surrounding my curse, the clearer it becomes that the witch who destroyed my life is not finished with me, that my forgotten bloodline matters far more than anyone wants me to know, and that the men beginning to cross my path may be connected to my fate in ways I cannot yet understand.
I came back to the capital to become human again.
I may have to decide what being human is worth.
Broken Vow is book 1 of The Silver Bride and the Broken Crown, a slow-burn, steamy why-choose romantasy featuring a cursed fox heroine, court intrigue, found family, multiple love interests, and a romantic arc that develops across all five books. Liora will not have to choose.
