An Oath to Eternity

Epic fantasy with political intrigue and mythic undertones.

The Glacierborn rebellion fractures the Empire’s borders, and whispers of Daskan demons coil through the heart of power. When the Aeternarch falls, Claudia Augustus inherits not only her father’s crown but the Senate’s hungry ambitions. Bound still to her studies at the Imperial Academy, she must secure her rule and complete his forbidden work: the Aegis of Eternity, a ward said to be powered by the lost Eye of the Old One, while an ancient god begins to whisper in her mind.

Driana Ferona, daughter of the Magister-Pontiff, is too sharp, too bold, and far too curious for her own good. She wears obedience in marble halls but keeps her truest self in the city’s alleys among thieves. When the Empire begins to unravel, Driana is drawn into the web of divine politics and buried magic long before she is ready, or perhaps just in time.

Raylan Trisval, son of the Empire’s greatest general, is expected to follow in his father’s footsteps. But within the halls of the Imperial Academy, he fights to forge his own identity. As war spreads across the realm, his path turns away from the battlefield and toward myth and a truth buried by time.

As ancient pacts waver and long-silenced gods stir, these three lives converge within the Academy’s walls, where the wards are both key and prison. Only together can they reach the Eye and decide the fate of an empire.

The Empire stands on the brink. An oath will be made. Now the gods are watching.
