In the heartrending crescendo of Brigid Kemmerer's Cursebreaker series, "A Vow So Bold and Deadly" unfurls the tumultuous tapestry of Emberfall and Syhl Shallow, teetering on the brink of war. The land of Emberfall is a fractured realm, cleaved between the loyalty to its tormented Prince Rhen and the allegiance to Grey, the stalwart commander revealed as the rightful heir. As Grey's ultimatum looms, threatening a siege that could drown both lands in blood, Rhen finds himself isolated, his bond with Harper, his erstwhile ally and fierce lover, fraying under the weight of impending doom. Amidst the chaos, Harper's unwavering determination seeks a sliver of peace, a path to salvage the love and kingdom teetering on the edge of destruction. Across the border, Lia Mara, the reluctant queen of Syhl Shallow, grapples with the mantle of leadership, yearning to steer her people with compassion rather than the iron fist her mother wielded. Yet, her reign is beset by dissent, her decisions scrutinized and challenged by those who yearn for the brutal days of yore. As the shadow of war darkens, Lia Mara is caught between the love for her enchanted prince and her duty to her realm, her resolve tested as she faces the ultimate question: can she be the queen her people deserve? In this gripping finale, loyalties are tested, love is jeopardized, and an ancient menace stirs, threatening to engulf both kingdoms in an unforgiving tide of chaos and loss.
