Oath Of Shadows And Roses

Sixteen years have passed since their separation.
Sixteen years since he last held her, breathed in her maddening scent, heard her voice whisper his name.
Sixteen years since she was torn from his grasp.
Now, the Shah of Persia- a sovereign whose power bends reality itself-has only one purpose left: to find the woman whose absence has carved a hollow into his soul.
War follows him. Empires burn. Blood is spilled in her name.
And then, on the edge of battle, he sees them.
Eyes that belong to only one person in existence.
Crimson-like blood, like red roses.
But they stare back at him from the face of a boy.
The revelation strikes harder than any blade.
Did she bear a child?
Did the woman he claimed as his own give herself to another man?
No. Impossible.
Negar would never betray him.
Yet the truth awaiting him is far more cruel than betrayal-
a truth that will drag even a god-king to his knees and force him to confront what was stolen from him... and what he may yet destroy to reclaim.
