This is Book 4 of The Shackled Oath series.

Azaria Sylvenhart has finally found where she belongs.

In Aelvaraan, surrounded by shifters who understand her fire and a father who sees her before he sees her power, Azaria is learning what it means to be wanted. Her magic is growing. Her bond with Quinton has deepened into something ancient and undeniable. For the first time in her life, she is not fighting to prove she deserves to exist.

But the world does not wait for peace to settle.

An ancient threat is stirring. Echoes of a forgotten disaster surface in warnings no one fully understands. And in Dravareth, a king has been watching patiently for a very long time.

Malphyr Draeven does not want Azaria dead.

He wants something far worse.

And Azaria will discover that the people she loves most are not just her strength.

They are the price.
