Oath Trilogy #1 In a world where surrender is the only way to survive, she refuses to speak. The epidemic flipped the world on its head, leaving society in chaos. People had no choice but to surrender to the government's authority and comply. In a time when strong voices were needed, Hecate Drusilla turned her silence into a shield. She learned the hard way that every word, every whisper, and every scream unleashed from her could destroy everything. When Keegan Everett, the Chief in Command of Sector 51, captured her, he anticipated seeing a damsel in distress pleading for freedom. Instead, he found a woman who wouldn't mutter a word and would just do anything she was told, like a slave, in exchange for her brother's safety. He thought she was just another pushover to exploit, but little did he know that her silence was a protection for the world from complete destruction. As they unravel each other's vulnerabilities in the middle of an epidemic and an oppressive system, the line between duty and desire blurs. But what will happen when the government's control takes hold of the nation and threatens her biggest secret? Will she surrender, like she always does, or will she rise up and unleash the veiled oath she has kept for years?
