The Lightbearer's Oath

Lightbearer's Oath is a dark fantasy novel about bloodline magic, fractured bonds, and the cost of legacy.
After the death of her younger sister Lyra, Seren Alara returns to the ancestral land she abandoned years ago. Haunted by grief and guilt, she finds herself thrust into a role she never wanted-completing a sacred rite meant for someone else. But the land doesn't forget. And neither does the magic buried beneath it.
Seren's power is unstable. Her bondmate, Rowan Vale, died during their awakening-a loss that broke her magic and her trust in the coven. But when a stranger reveals Rowan may not be dead, and Lyra's death was no accident, Seren is forced to unravel a deeper conspiracy tied to the Anointed Rift-an exiled sect bent on rewriting bloodline magic from the inside out.
As Seren's light grows stronger, so does the danger around her. The bond she thought she lost begins to stir, but what returns may not be Rowan at all. With the coven splintering, enemies watching, and the land itself reacting to her every move, Seren must choose between reclaiming what was stolen... or destroying it before it claims her.
Because legacy isn't just inherited.
It's taken.
