Elara, a gifted healer hiding a dangerous secret, lives quietly on the edge of a kingdom at war. Born with forbidden Moonfire blood, her touch can heal wounds no medicine could—but exposure would mean death. When she saves the life of Kaelen, a storm-eyed knight sworn to the crown, her secret is nearly revealed. Bound by honor, Kaelen vows to protect her, and their forbidden love begins to bloom beneath starlight.
But shadows linger close. Seris, Elara's dearest friend, secretly harbors love for Kaelen and envy for the bond she cannot have. When whispers of prophecy spread—that the Moonfire heir will either destroy or save the realm—Seris betrays Elara, striking a dark bargain with the Shadow Lord. To protect the kingdom, Kaelen is forced to denounce Elara, shattering her trust and exiling her from the only home she has ever known.
Heartbroken and betrayed, Elara discovers an ancient sanctuary where her true power awakens. No longer just a healer, she rises as the Moonfire Queen, a figure of awe and dread. Meanwhile, Seris embraces her corruption, wielding the Shadow Lord's power to bring the kingdom to its knees.
As war consumes the land, Kaelen seeks forgiveness, torn between duty and the love he could never bury. Elara must face Seris in a final battle where friendship becomes enmity and love teeters on the edge of betrayal. In the end, Kaelen sacrifices himself to protect Elara, fulfilling the vow he once swore beneath the stars.
Now crowned by fire and grief, Elara chooses to heal the kingdom instead of destroying it—but she rules alone, her heart forever marked by love and loss.
A tale of passion, betrayal, and destiny, Shattered Vows of the Moonfire Realm is a bittersweet fantasy romance where vows can save a life… or break a heart.
