Oathbound

About Oathbound

Bree Matthews has severed herself from the Legendborn Order, cut the ancestral ties that once anchored her, and walked away from the friends who cannot understand the cost of her power. Alone and desperate to protect the people she loves, Bree makes a dangerous bargain with the Shadow King — a shapeshifting monster who moves between the human world, the demon underworld, and the secret society she has left behind. But power never comes freely. As Bree is drawn deeper into her training and bound to the Shadow King’s will, the fractured Scions face a war without their Kingsmage, Selwyn Kane, and without a united Round Table. When Nick invokes an ancient law to confront the High Council of Regents, buried secrets threaten to reshape everything the Order believes about loyalty, legacy, and destiny. Dark, urgent, and emotionally charged, Oathbound continues Tracy Deonn’s bestselling Legendborn Cycle with a fierce blend of Arthurian legend, contemporary fantasy, Southern Black Girl Magic, betrayal, grief, and hard-won power. As kidnappings escalate and Merlins begin to fall, Bree must discover whether she can outrun her past — or whether claiming who she is will be the only way to survive.
