Vow of Fire — Book One of The Seven Vows series
Seren was born without a lineage and raised among servants, but fire never feared her — and it never burned her. When the Queen's sacred flames choose her instead of a royal heir, Seren becomes the empire's greatest anomaly: a girl who carries not one vow, but many.
Marked by ancient magic, claimed by a prince who feels every pain she endures, and hunted by a throne that wants her silenced, Seren is thrust into a world of sealed prophecies, forbidden rites, and vows that were never meant to coexist. As rebellion grows beneath the crown, she must decide whether to burn for the empire that made her... or ignite the truth it tried to bury.
A sweeping romantasy of power, inheritance, and forbidden love — where destiny isn't inherited, it's chosen, and where the flames that protect the empire may also be the ones to destroy it.
Themes: chosen family, romantic tension, magical lineage, rebellion, forbidden magic, destiny vs. duty, elemental powers, court politics.
Content Advisory: fantasy violence, political corruption, magical pain-bond themes, emotional manipulation, light romantic tension (no explicit content).
Perfect for readers of: Fourth Wing, From Blood and Ash, Throne of Glass, Shadow and Bone, and romantasy featuring powerful heroines, elemental magic, and slow-burn, high-stakes relationships.
