A Vow in Vengeance

DEBUT In response to a mortal uprising, the immortals—druids, seraphs, and elves—instituted a punishment in the form of an annual Selection, in which 100 mortals would be taken to the immortal realms. After losing her parents and brother to the Selection, Rune Ryker decides to offer herself up in order to find her family and wreak vengeance on the immortals. Once there, she’s forced to pledge her allegiance to the king of the druids and assimilate into their world, which includes attending the Forge, a college that teaches the use of the druids’ tarot magic. Pulling the rare and powerful World card lands Rune in a house with the handsome and infuriating Prince Draven. Despite their initial hate and distrust, they realize that their goals could align. They pretend to be fated mates to rescue Rune’s family and find the magical artifacts that could change all the realms forever. Betrayals, rebellions, and secrets disrupt their plans, even as they fall deeply for each other. Rune and Draven are a fantastic and formidable pair, and the novel’s magical academic setting holds great appeal.
