Masquerade Oath: A Royal Intrigue Romantasy, (Paperback)

<p><strong>A masked prince offers protection. A stubborn outsider refuses to be moved. When a vow-lock reveals a theft of memory, Stellan must choose truth over duty, and Aveline becomes the light the palace can't erase.</strong></p><p> In a palace where kindness is rehearsed and loyalty is a leash, Stellan has been taught that calm is safety and obedience is duty. Behind the silk and ceremony, the royal court runs on invisible rules, and the most dangerous power is the one that sounds gentle. When Aveline arrives at the edge of that world, she refuses the one thing the palace expects from ordinary people: she refuses to shrink. She refuses to be moved, managed, or folded into a story that isn't hers.</p><p>A single night cracks the court's perfect mask. A vow-locked ring leads Stellan into sealed wards and buried records that should not exist, proof that protection was once used as a script to reshape him from the inside. The deeper he reads, the clearer it becomes that someone he trusted helped design the very language that kept him pliable. And the closer Aveline stands in the lamp's witness light, the more the palace pushes back, trying to turn her refusal into a threat.</p><p>Stellan can return to the safety of the old script, let the regency smooth everything into quiet again, and keep the realm stable at the cost of his own mind. Or he can step into daylight, let the palace stone remember what it tried to erase, and choose an oath that opens instead of seals. But if he chooses truth, he risks losing the only certainty he has ever known, and Aveline risks becoming the price of his awakening.</p><p><strong>Masquerade Oath is a royal intrigue romantasy about hidden identity, truth versus duty, and a love built on consent, visibility, and the courage to refuse control dressed as care.</strong></p>
