Madeline R. Behr

A dark and vivid enemies-to-lovers romance. If you're into morally gray characters, charming vampires, fated love, and a touch of gothic fairy tales, this book is for you. The queen promised us salvation. But now we lie awake at night and stare into the darkness. Every noise, a whisper. Every movement, a warning. Don’t go near the forest, for the shadows are hungry. When Azyliz murders the Order's knights, he seals his pact with death. He flees from Wedunia, hoping to escape the man who has tortured him for a century. Marianne, who is blamed for the death of her brother and sister, chases after him, a last intent to redeem herself to those who see her unworthy of being a knight. When she finds him, the magical artifact Azyliz stole, binds their souls together. Shunned and hunted, Marianne and Azyliz flee into the forest, where so many have found their brutal ends. They find comfort in each other’s company and their bond begins to flourish. Will they escape the monsters of their past? Or will they lose even the shreds of their broken selves?"A Whispered Oath" contains descriptions of graphic violence and darker themes like abuse, power, betrayal, and manipulation. If you are not in a good place right now and feel unable to digest such topics, please take care of yourself. This book is for an audience of 17+. It's not appropriate for children. The intimate scenes happen behind closed doors.
