"Staggeringly good... from the very first line, I was bewitched."-Navessa Allen, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lights Out
Deadly tarot, wicked schemes, dangerous alliances . . . can you survive the Forge?
Sexy, action-packed, and brimming with magic, A Vow in Vengeance is an unputdownable romantasy series.
Rune Ryker has nothing left to lose. Everything's been stolen by the Immortals-her family, her home, her freedom. But she's done playing by their rules.
Each year, humans are forced to journey into the Immortal Realms, but twenty-year-old Rune orchestrates her own selection, determined to find her family and destroy anyone who stands in her way. Rune is used to doing whatever it takes to survive, and now she must endure the Forge, a cutthroat college for the Immortal druids' elusive tarot magic. When Rune's magic reveals itself to be the rarest and most powerful, she must live with its only other wielder-Prince Draven. As arrogant as he is ruthlessly ambitious, he's the last person she can trust.
Rune's abilities also draw the eyes of the most dangerous druids in the realms. Some want to use her. More want her dead. Draven offers to train her . . . for a price. As Rune becomes ensnared in Draven's dangerous games, she learns there are secrets at the heart of the kingdom that some will kill to protect.
And Rune and Draven's growing attraction may be the spark to ignite a brewing war.
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers / Dark Academia / Fake fated mates / Forced Proximity / Snark and Banter / Touch her and die / Tarot

Person
Jaclyn Rodriguez is a biracial author of Puerto Rican heritage who has been madly in love with fantasy since before she could walk, forever drawn to magic and the impossible. If there are high stakes and intricate world-building, she's in, and she adores a strong romantic subplot, the more complicated the better. She spends her non-writing time practicing archery, and deconstructing her favorite TV shows and films. She currently lives in Tucson, Arizona with her husband, son, and two quirky dogs. A Vow in Vengeance will be her debut.
