Elderkin Chronicles Broken Oaths & Boundaries

Bol

Is a walled and locked Residence a palace or a prison? It depends on who holds the keys.When the Holy Remoran Empire decided that the Emperor's younger son would marry the heir of the Duke of uncanny Traventi, Childe Silvia saw Leon-Alexander as a fine man and marriage as preferable to war.With her Prince dead, Silvia and her 3 young children are trapped at the Emperor's court far from her homeland, disdained and oppressed by officials who view the Marriage Contract as a cheap tool of conquest while scanting their own promises. The courtiers fear no reprisals for oath-breaking.For the Elderkin of Traventi, descended from eldritch creatures, Oaths join the Worlds' foundations and oath-breaking is no safer than breaking rocks at the base of a cliff, inviting cosmic rupture.The warnings of Silvia's younger son, the Notary and seer Franz-Karl, become more urgent as Contract breakage and other villainy continues unmended and news of disaster spreads.Will reforms avert the looming calamity? Or will it all end in tears?368 pages
