In a world where gods once walked openly, balance is breaking.
Queen Umi makes a choice no ruler should ever make — to awaken a sealed power whispered of only in legend. Not for conquest. Not for glory. But to save her people from a war already moving beneath the surface.
Across the continent, Lady Ashandra of the Kingdom of Lux prepares for a future shaped by duty and steel, unaware that the truths behind her nation's faith may be more fragile than the swords sworn to defend it.
And far from thrones and temples, Yami — a wandering warrior who has tried to bury her past — finds herself drawn back toward conflict when the land itself begins to stir.
As ancient forces shift and alliances fracture, mortals and gods alike must confront a dangerous question:
When the world demands balance, who decides what must be sacrificed?
Shadows & Vows is a contemporary epic fantasy of divine conflict, political tension, and warriors forced to stand at the edge of history.
