The Darkest Oath: A Historical Romance of Forbidden Love and Immortality in Revolutionary France: A Historical Romance of Forbidden Love and Immortality in Revolutionary France
Her love is his only salvation-and the undoing of everything he needed to survive.
In 18th-century France, where revolution sparks and mythic curses linger, one immortal knight must choose between duty and desire in this emotionally charged, slow-burn romance.
He was forged in loyalty. Bound by oath. Cursed with immortality.
She was destined to spark rebellion-and to reignite his long-numb heart.
Chevalier Rollant de Montvieux was once a man of honor. Betrayed on the battlefield and bound by a sorceress's curse, he has spent six centuries serving the French crown-immortal, untouchable, and doomed to lose anyone he dares to embrace.
Élise has nothing left to lose. Defiant and determined to fight for freedom, she has no patience for kings-or the royalists who serve them. But when she crosses paths with Rollant, she finds a man burdened by secrets, trapped in a fate not of his choosing.
As revolution ignites in Paris, their connection deepens in the shadows of a crumbling world.
But Rollant knows love is forbidden.
To hold Élise is to curse her to certain death.
As France teeters on the edge of war, Rollant must make an impossible choice: honor his unbreakable oath and protect her from afar-or risk everything, including her life, for one fleeting chance at love.
And Élise must decide where her true battle lies: in the streets of Paris, or in the arms of a man who may be her ruin-or her greatest salvation.
The curse is real.
The love is forbidden.
The oath was only the beginning.
Take the Oath. Choose the Curse.
Step into a world where love is treason and every vow carries a price.
Perfect for readers who crave:
- Slow-burn, closed-door romance that aches before it ignites
- Devotion more powerful than desire-wrecked by restraint, not rushed by tropes
- Forbidden love with quiet echoes of Beauty and the Beast
- Characters whose inner battles are as gripping as the war around them
- Rich historical detail steeped in gothic, myth-touched atmosphere
The Darkest Oath is a historical romance of sacred vows, haunted longing, and forbidden love, set in a world where loyalty can kill and the past refuses to die.
