The Iron Oath
Book Two of The Iron Vow
By SilentKnight
Months after uniting a broken kingdom, King Seris stands not at the dawn of peace, but on the edge of a deeper storm. As the realm rebuilds, ancient threats rise from the forgotten corners of the world-whispers of a lost empire, a secret order sworn to the Old Gods, and a prophecy that names Seris as both savior and destroyer.
Haunted by the weight of the crown and the ghosts of war, Seris must navigate treacherous politics, strained alliances, and a growing fear that he may not survive the very peace he fought to win. Meanwhile, Yrena, battle-hardened and loyal, struggles with her place in a kingdom that no longer needs a warrior-and with feelings she's kept hidden far too long.
Together with a new circle of unlikely allies-a cunning desert rogue, a reluctant mage hunted by his own kin, and a girl who may hold the last key to the old magics-Seris must uncover the truth behind an ancient Oath that predates his kingdom. For in the shadows, something stirs. Something bound in iron, blood, and time.
And this time, it is not just a crown that is at stake... but the soul of the realm itself.
