Vows of the Tainted: A Dark Arranged Marriage Romance

A forced marriage. A lethal survivorship clause. A tyrant who expects them to tear each other apart.

In the smog-choked, dystopian city of Glaemreich, the Fallow and Morvath syndicates have waged a bloody shadow-war for five years. Ysenna Fallow is a feral, unapologetic survivor who butchered her way to the top of her family's hierarchy. Crevan Morvath is a cold, lethal executioner whose absolute ruthlessness is the stuff of urban legend. They share only one thing: a burning, violent hatred for one another.

Until Arch-Magistrate Coriolan Vance locks them in a cage.

To consolidate his iron-fisted rule over the city, the Magistrate forces Ysenna and Crevan into an arranged marriage with a twisted catch-a survivorship clause dictating that upon the death of one spouse, the other inherits both empires. It isn't a peace treaty. It's an engineered assassination. A ticking clock designed to make them murder each other in the dark of their gilded penthouse.

But Coriolan made one fatal miscalculation. He underestimated the intoxicating, apocalyptic devotion that blossoms when two apex predators realize they are being played.

Stripped of their wealth, locked out of their fortresses, and hunted by the city's elites, Ysenna and Crevan must forge a lethal, unspoken synergy to survive. The hatred that was supposed to destroy them morphs into a weaponized, terrifying romance. They won't just break the contract. They will bleed the city dry, slaughter the tyrant, and claim the throne together.

Vows of the Tainted is a dark, pulse-pounding dystopian romance featuring morally grey protagonists, explosive enemies-to-lovers tension, and a high-stakes heist that will leave you breathless.
