Oathbound

An oath forged in honor. A soul breaking in silence. Elyrion was bred to be a weapon-perfect, unwavering, and loyal to the empire that shaped him. But years of war have left more than scars on his body-they've fractured his identity. Haunted by ghosts of the battlefield and the crushing expectations of his legacy, Elyrion begins to question the very purpose of his duty. When rebellion stirs within the empire's shadows and whispers of betrayal echo in the halls of power, Elyrion finds himself standing at a crossroads. Can he still follow orders when they demand blind obedience over truth? And when a gentle healer named Valara shows him a different kind of strength, the kind that doesn't come from a blade, Elyrion must decide whether honor lies in holding the line... or breaking it. Heart-wrenching, atmospheric, and achingly human, Oathbound is a tale of war, identity, and the fragile hope that healing might begin where silence ends.
