The Oath of Izul

For fifteen years, the Kingdom of Vaelaris has remained closed to the outside world. When its gates finally reopen, Odielia, an artifact and historical researcher with an insatiable curiosity for forgotten civilizations, sees the opportunity of a lifetime. What begins as a journey to study the kingdom's long-lost history quickly becomes something far greater when she finds herself chosen to carry the realm's most sacred relic. Now thrust into the heart of a grieving royal family, surrounded by four princes who each have a claim to the throne, Odielia discovers that history is more than words preserved in old books. It lives in promises, in people, and in truths that were never meant to be uncovered. Some kingdoms are built on legends. Others are built on oaths that refuse to be forgotten.
