All roads lead to Ecbatana as the trading masters say. This ancient fortress with its multi-colored interlocking walls, the vibrant bazars, and its powerful sorcerers who use a mysterious magic called metamorphistry lies in the path of the rag-tag group refugees from fallen Clairvaux.
But as Cimree, Azra, Trinati, and the others soon learn, there is a tradition in Ecbatana both perilous and promising—Ecbatana is periodically ruled by a tyrant queen, chosen to wield absolute power while the scheming nobles react to drastic changes in fortune.
Azra wants to bypass Ecbatana and continue to seek shelter deep within the Tirich Mir mountains where the angel sworn can be safe from the predators unleashed by a fearsome monster bent on destroying all civilization. Or can Ecbatana’s sturdy walls and tunnels defend them from the hordes attacking every hamlet and caravan? Should the Ecbatanans at least be warned of the coming threat?
One thing for sure is Cimree, the inexperienced leader of the angel sworn, will be tested in ways she cannot imagine. There is more to Ecbatana than silks, spices, and magical djinn trapped in gems. There are secrets that may reveal the true nature of the monsters pursuing them and to the very magic she has come to depend on.
The series
In Angel Sworn, the line between divinity and the earthly realm is thin—so thin that a single thread of magic can unravel both. Set in the mysterious valley of Clairvaux, a hidden sanctuary where ancient, immortal fruit grows on the Gallows Tree, this series blends ethereal magic and deep-rooted mysteries. At the heart of this world are the angel sworn, magical guardians bound to animals, living out their long lives in symbiosis with nature's creatures. Their bond grants them power, but also a duty to maintain harmony with all living things.

But peace is fleeting. When strange deaths begin to plague Clairvaux, bodies ravaged by vicious claws, the very fabric of this magical world begins to tear.

As creatures once tame are twisted into monstrous forms, and a forgotten magic is uncovered, Cimree's journey takes her beyond the safety of Clairvaux to the heart of a dark secret—a fallen angel locked away in a distant prison. With new dangers looming and an ancient magic awakening, Cimree must decide where her loyalty lies, and whether her fate is intertwined with a divine struggle larger than anything she could have imagined.
The Angel Sworn series delves into themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the fragility of peace. With its lush world-building, complex characters, and a world where the forces of nature and magic are forever entwined, this series weaves a tale of intrigue, danger, and divine conflict that will captivate readers who crave depth and mystery in their fantasy worlds.
