A cursed veil chooses its victims in public.
This time, it chooses a widow who refuses to kneel.
Evarielle Valcrest has survived grief, court gossip, and the men who thought widowhood would make her easier to control. But when Thornvale's ancient living veil wraps itself around her wrist before the entire royal court, she becomes something far more dangerous than a scandal.
She becomes marked.
The crown calls it protection. Evarielle knows a cage when she hears one described politely.
Corvin Glassmere, the fallen crown guard ordered to watch her, should be her jailer. He is oathbound, disgraced, and far too familiar with what happens to women chosen by the veil. But the more the curse tightens around Evarielle, the more Corvin begins to question the prince he once served, the sacred laws he once obeyed, and the dangerous woman he was never supposed to want.
Beneath Thornvale's palace, something old is waking.
Behind the crown's mercy, women have vanished.
And the forbidden pull between Evarielle and Corvin may be the one truth the realm cannot survive.
For readers who love dark romantasy, cursed kingdoms, morally grey protectors, powerful heroines, forbidden bonds, court betrayal, slow-burn devotion, touch-her-and-die tension, and romance that costs something.
The Oathbound Prince is Book One in The Last Thorn Crown, a dark royal romantasy trilogy by Ariana Valewood. The trilogy continues with The Crown That Survived and concludes with The Marked Queen. The series is built around Evarielle Valcrest, Corvin Glassmere, and Prince Odran Vale, with forced royal alliance, throne war, he falls first, and touch-her-and-die tropes.
