The Hollow Oath

For generations, the Cornelians have been praised for their filial unity, their contributions to the great wars, and their unbending traditions.
But inside the walls of the Cornelius Manor, the people are not merely people. The people are in roles, and they have expectations, and their sacrifice for the family name has been made even before the day they were born.
And Daphne has spent her entire life making sure that it stays that way.
But the winter ball changed everything she knew about her life.
Vesper changed everything; a friendship became dangerous. Love became a war. A name became a prison.
And suddenly, the archives are vanishing. Long-settled histories are resurfacing; the decisions are getting corrupted.
The focus is only one thing-keep the worse parts hidden.
Now, Daphne is caught between protecting who she loves and the secrets that refuse to stay hidden.
So, when the truth finally emerges, it is not a love story that brings the house to its ruins.
It will be the scandal of the century.
