The Unmapped Vow

Historical — a marriage alliance between houses at war · English · Complete

Mara Veylan’s illegal laboratory burns the night royal officers come for her. Her escape ends at the enemy’s gate, where Teren Rusk offers a marriage neither of them wants and the only protection the Crown will honor. Their wedding is meant to end a family war over the Greyweald, a forest absent from reliable maps. Instead, a buried survey marker, a poisoned vial, and a name scratched inside Mara’s ruined retort suggest that someone has been keeping the forest unmapped on purpose.
