A Vow of Shattered Glass

Vierra Tarris bled to death in a freezing, isolated childbed, screaming for a husband who was busy crowning his mistress in the next wing of the estate. Vierra had spent years fiercely defending Garrick’s claim to the High Seat, using her blistering temper and unmatched blade to crush his enemies, only to be discarded the moment she produced an heir. When she opens her eyes, she is not in the afterlife. She is mid-swing in a tavern brawl, exactly five years in the past. Realizing she has a second chance, Vierra swallows her fiery rage and begins a meticulously cold game of revenge. She abandons Garrick and targets the one man who can dismantle his life: Zarek Vossen, Garrick’s bitterest rival and the true, rightful heir Garrick secretly usurped. To secure Zarek’s blade, Vierra must seduce the notoriously aloof outcast, promising him the throne if he helps her banish Garrick's mistress to the desolate, impoverished Isle of Kray. But as Vierra weaves her trap and a slow-burning attraction ignites with Zarek, she uncovers a chilling discrepancy. Will her cleverly planned ruin unravel when she discovers her most trusted confidante holds the knife at her back?
