A Promise so Bold and Broken (Compelling Fates Saga, #2)

by Sophia St. Germain

The Rantzier rule will end, its people disband, by the hands of the reluctant ally—the ally that should have stood by their side, that should have fought with them, that should have protected them. It’s the one loved by Fae and human, the one you may not slay for the war that fragile death would bring, who will finally bring the Rantziers to their knees.

Surrendering it all, they will choose to perish with them. For only in their ultimate sacrifice can a new world be born—the world they have dreamed of, battled for, and wept over.

Please don’t be the last time. Please don’t be the last time.

“You have given me everything.” Merrick leaned his forehead against her own, his eyes refusing to let hers break away. “Everything, Elessia. If I die tonight, I’ll do so having everything I ever asked for and many things I never thought to.”

He would destroy the world until he found her. Kill every fucking soul that dared get in his way. And if he found her harmed…

If the king made him break it… Merrick let the souls around him get a taste of roaming this realm—pushing the boundaries of what he once considered sacred. There would be no more Havlands to save.
