A princess in exile.
A commander with a ruined name.
A kingdom built on stolen oaths.
Rowenna Raventhorn has spent six years hiding from the bloodline that condemned her. In the harbour town of Saltmere, she lives under a false name, keeping her head low and her dangerous magic buried. But when moonlight wakes the scar beneath her skin, Oathmere finds her at last.
They call her blood unstable.
They call her return a threat.
They call the Last Anointing a trial.
But Rowenna soon learns the ceremony was never designed to reveal innocence. It was designed to bury the truth.
Garrick Serrane, the disgraced commander sent to bring her back, has every reason to obey the court that ruined him. Instead, he begins to question the woman who gave the order, the laws he once served, and the dangerous princess who refuses to break quietly.
As Rowenna and Garrick uncover glass collars, stolen names, hidden oath chambers, and a buried power beneath Oathmere's holy chapel, their reluctant alliance turns into something far more dangerous than rebellion.
Because the court does not fear Rowenna because she is cursed.
It fears her because her blood remembers what the kingdom stole.
The Last Anointing is Book One in The Queen's Forbidden Oath, a dark adult romantasy trilogy filled with cursed royal blood, forbidden magic, court betrayal, ancient oaths, a morally grey commander, and a slow burn romance forged in danger.
