Blood Oath (Cursed Legacies, #1)

At Everbound University, a mandatory institution for the cursed descendants of the Four Houses, Maven, a human-born enchantress with hidden magic, is thrust into a world where power is inherited, alliances are razor-thin, and secrets can kill. Determined to remain unbound and protect herself, she rejects her assigned quintet—four powerful legacies: a cutthroat blood fae, a charming dragon shifter, a protective ice elemental, and a twisted nightmare prince. However, their relentless pursuit draws her into a dangerous web of magic, secrets, and bonds she never intended to forge.

As Maven navigates the treacherous dynamics of her quintet, she faces forbidden bonds, brutal betrayals, and a destiny she never asked for. The story unfolds against the brooding backdrop of dark academia, weaving slow-burn tension, morally complex characters, and intricate world-building into a saga where every choice carries blood-stained consequences. Trust is dangerous, love is deadly, and breaking a curse might cost more than her life—it might cost her soul.

Set in a world where magic lingers in the shadows and desire is never without consequence, "Blood Oath" is a darkly enchanting tale of cursed legacies, dangerous bonds, and fantastical romance that entwines in thrilling, unexpected ways. Maven's journey is one of self-discovery, as she confronts her past, her powers, and the undeniable pull of her fated quintet.
