For two centuries the Aven bloodline has guarded a silent tomb, training in secret for a summons that never comes.
Cullen Aven, last of his line, finally breaks the seal—only to find a lone figure suspended in arcane stasis at its heart.

Sharael Maldeen, a wizard from a vanished age, awakens with one mission: reclaim the Costa Novacula—once the legendary magic sword known as the Dark Razor, and return it to the White Circle on distant Silandria. Though she claims mastery of the blade and tactics, her wide-eyed wonder at the world leaves Cullen doubting every word.

When Sharael’s spell hurls them across VanIsle, nothing is where it should be. Thriving towns lie abandoned, roads crumble into forest paths, and twisted trees split the sky. Razor-hunters stalk the legend, demons prowl a sullied world, and a turncoat mage hunts the Razor’s power, forcing Cullen to choose: honour his ancestors’ vow—or forge a future no prophecy can bind.

Perfect for readers who love action-adventure fantasy with portal magic, time-lost mysteries, and a slow-burn romance at its heart.

The Burden of Oath launches an epic saga more than forty years in the making. The first eleven books complete, delivering layered plots and immersive world-building. Suitable for readers 13 +, yet crafted to satisfy adult fantasy fans.
