The bells of Veyrhold have been silent for two hundred and eleven years.
Then Fiorenna Thornmere touches one broken piece of silver.
And all seven begin to ring.
Fiorenna has spent thirteen years training as a royal cursekeeper, determined to restore the family name destroyed when her mother was condemned as a traitor to the Crown.
One ceremony should finally prove she belongs.
Instead, an ancient bell fragment awakens beneath her hand before the entire court.
Silver marks her skin.
Dead queens begin whispering inside her mind.
And something buried beneath the palace calls her home.
The only person capable of interrupting the magic is the last man Thornvale should trust.
Prince Maeron Eldenhart.
Heir to an enemy kingdom. Descendant of an oathbreaking royal bloodline. And now, by command of the Crown, Fiorenna's unwilling guard.
But Maeron knows more about the ruined bells than he admits.
His family possesses a fragment of the same forbidden metal. His dead brother left behind a warning connected to Fiorenna. And when their marks react to each other, Fiorenna discovers that the Crown has been preparing for their meeting since long before either of them understood what their blood could do.
Every test reveals another lie.
Every oath hides another victim.
And the ancient magic binding Fiorenna and Maeron together was never designed to protect them.
It was designed to make one of them obey and the other capable of ending them.
As assassination attempts, political marriage, hidden royal chambers and forbidden histories close around them, Fiorenna must decide whether the dangerous prince beside her is another weapon meant to control her, or the first man willing to let her choose what happens next.
Because the Crown wants a vessel.
The bells want a queen.
And Fiorenna Thornmere intends to become neither on anyone else's terms.
The Salt-Oathed Lord is Book One of The Queen of Ruined Bells, a dark adult romantasy trilogy featuring a cursed queen, enemy prince, forced proximity, forbidden crown bond, knife-to-throat tension, royal conspiracy, ancient magic, slow-burn desire and a continuing romance where every vow has a price.
