The Fractured Wing

by Zenna Lake

This is Book 2 of The Shackled Oath series. She survived captivity. But survival was never the same thing as healing. Azaria Sylvenhart was freed from captivity. What they could not free was her mind. Broken by what was done to her and driven by something darker than grief, Azaria descends into a war of her own making—one her squad watches helplessly, caught between reaching for her and fearing she may no longer want to be reached. Dain fights to hold her together. And Quinton Thornvale, the blood mage who would burn kingdoms to keep her alive, is learning that saving Azaria’s life and reaching her are not the same thing—and that whatever is growing between them was never going to survive unscarred. But darkness does not wait for her to heal. Hunted by the same forces that have tried to destroy her from the beginning, Azaria is forced to confront what she is willing to become in order to survive. And the arrival of a stranger from across the continent—one bound to her by something neither of them understands—threatens to unravel everything further. Because Torven Kaelor is not finished with her. And this time, the cost of stopping him will not be measured in blood alone.
