Oathbound – Deonnová Tracy (2025)

The phenomenal third book in the Legendborn Cycle by TikTok sensation Tracy Deonn, a New York Times bestselling and award-winning author, follows Bree Matthews after she has severed her ties to the Legendborn Order and exiled herself from the friends who cannot understand the impossible cost of her powers. Determined to keep herself and those she loves safe, Bree cuts her ancestral connections, but pays a terrible price: an unbreakable bargain with the Shadow King, a shapeshifter who moves between the human world, the demon underworld and the secret Legendborn society. In exchange for training to control her unprecedented abilities, Bree places her future in his hands and unwittingly becomes his new protégé, bound to do his bidding. Meanwhile, the other Scions face war with their Round Table fractured, leaderless and missing its Kingsmage, while Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick is detained by the Order’s Merlins, he invokes an ancient law requiring the High Council of Regents to convene at the Northern Keep and grant him an audience. No one knows what he will demand or which secrets he has kept hidden from the Table. As mysterious kidnappings escalate and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that however far Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her.
