Sera and Caelan have broken the curse, but the palace has not finished with them. As ancient rooms awaken and forgotten vow-magic returns, their fragile bond becomes the key to restoring sanctuary or rebuilding another beautiful prison. Desire burns hotter now that it is freely chosen, yet every promise carries a cost. To save the palace from possession, they must decide what love should become when power itself is listening. The Gold Vow is a slow-burn Romantasy of royal magic, dangerous intimacy, and vows that only matter when they can be freely released.
