You want power? Take it. You want magic? Take it.
Rune Ryker has nothing left to lose. It’s all been stolen by the Immortals—her family, her home, her freedom. But she’s done playing by their rules.
While every year, mortals are chosen against their will to journey into the Immortal Realms, Rune orchestrates her own selection, determined to find her family and destroy anyone who stands in her way. But her survival depends on making it through the Forge, a college that teaches the elusive tarot magic of the Immortal Druids. And when Rune’s magic reveals itself to be the rarest and most powerful, she’s forced to live with its only other wielder—Prince Draven. Devastatingly handsome, and insufferably haughty with ruthless ambition, he’s the last person she can trust.
Her ability draws the attention of the most dangerous druids in the realms, making it all the harder to survive and save her family. Some want to use her. More want her dead. Draven offers to train her . . . for a price. As Rune becomes ensnared in Draven’s dangerous games, she learns there are secrets at the heart of the kingdom that some will kill to protect.
And Rune and Draven’s growing attraction may be the spark to ignite a brewing war.
A Vow in Vengeance is a sexy, action-packed, banter-filled romantasy about choice and destiny and how love binds us all.
“If you’ve been waiting for your next winged book boyfriend, look no further! A Vow in Vengeance is the perfect romantasy book, complete with a unique magic system, a badass heroine, and a powerful, morally gray love interest you’ll be swooning for from the moment he steps onto the page. Every plot twist packs a punch, and I was utterly captivated by the enemies-to-lovers romance—equal parts intoxicating and utterly devourable. Rune is the bisexual heroine of my romantasy dreams! I hope other readers are prepared, because this book will keep you up late into the night desperate to find out what happens next.”

“A Vow in Vengeance is an addicting, fast-paced, furious romantasy, with a refreshing and unique magic system, twists I did not see coming, and a captivating story from the first page to the last. I wish I could live in Rodriguez’s imaginative world where nothing is as it seems, your enemies are your allies, and beautiful creatures can be your worst nightmares. I could not stop turning the pages deep into the night and this is an absolutely perfect read for fans of Heartless Hunter and Crescent City. Book the day off work, cancel your plans, because you’re going to want to stay home to finish this one!”
