The Oath

Prince of the kingdom of Penrif freed her from captivity, and Haven Ashwood vowed to protect him. By day she is a royal bodyguard, and by night secretly fights monsters beyond the castle walls. But when the Lord of Shadows... kidnaps Prince Bell, Haven must team up with the arrogant Asheron Halfbane to save her friend. The journey takes them into the domain of a cruel queen. Finding herself in a world of powerful magic and legendary creatures, Haven realizes that she is caught off guard not only by her own feelings but also by the conflicting forces raging within her. Her rare and forbidden magic may be their only hope... but for the mingling of light and darkness, a price must be paid. And the price is Haven's soul. Confronted with forbidden love, betrayal, and a queen planning to destroy the kingdom, Haven is certain of only one thing. She must break the curse, or it will ruin everything she loves.
