Aria Ashbrook Web of Vows and Vengeance

"They say vengeance is a blade best kept sharp, and my dagger has been honed with every betrayal." Web of Vows and Vengeance is the first in a dark, spicy slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy series, perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, The Serpent and the Wings of Night, and Throne of Glass. Stripped of power. Fuelled by vengeance. She lost everything because of his lie. Now the only way to save her sister is to win a deadly competition that could cost her the only thing she has left: her life. When Prince Kyor twisted the truth about his mother's death, Rose paid the price. Her family was stripped of their magic, cast into the slums, and abandoned by the kingdom they once served. Now her parents are gone, and her younger sister's future hangs in the balance. Rose's only hope is the Tournament of the Gifting, a brutal competition held once a century, where the victor earns a blessing from the Goddess of Life. The catch? Every other contender wields the very power she was robbed of. And Prince Kyor is among them. Commander of the armies. Rider of a bonded dire wolf. Wielder of lightning. He doesn't just want to win for vanity - he wants the gift for himself. But what could a man who has it all possibly want? Thrown into a world of magic, monsters, and merciless trials, Rose must fight not only for survival but for the chance to reclaim her future. Along the way, she'll find unlikely allies, ruthless rivals, and a dangerous connection with her greatest enemy - one that could ruin or remake her. Web of Vows and Vengeance is a dark, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romantasy, set in a Nordic-inspired world, featuring deadly trials, found family, gods and goddesses, political intrigue, and an underdog heroine who refuses to stay broken. This is a story of heartbreak, vengeance, and the kind of power that can never be taken.
