Blood Oath
Pandora is a world bound by ancient laws, where clans survive through fragile alliances and the spirits of nature listen in silence. Here, power is paid for in blood, and love between leaders can become an act of war. Zay'nari, the Tsahik and queen of her clan, is known as The Moonborn Queen and The First and the Final Light. The stars answer her call, and the night itself seems to bend to her will. She knows a great power sleeps within her, but its true nature - and the secrets of her origin - remain hidden. When awakened, they may change Pandora forever. Varkhan, feared as the Bonebreaker, is the leader of a rival clan shaped by war. His strength is merciless, his will unyielding.

When a greater threat forces the clans into an uneasy alliance, a bond between Zay'nari and Varkhan becomes forbidden - dangerous enough to shatter the fragile balance holding Pandora together. What begins in hostility slowly turns into a dangerous trust, then into something far more powerful. This is a dark epic tale of forbidden love, ancient power, and a union that may save Pandora - or be the beginning of its end.

Zordania

"Don't fight it," I continued, voice steady, coaxing. "Welcome it. Let it blaze. You can own it; you can control it."

Slowly, I reached out and took her hands, without pausing to think about the damage her fire could do to me.
