A Vow Of Thorns (Oaths Of The Iron Highlands #4)

Some vows are made in sunlight.

Others are carved in thorns.

Caelan Kincaid has built his life on order, duty, and restraint. As Clan Kincaid’s trusted quartermaster, he believes every choice has a proper cost, and every line worth keeping must never be crossed.

Morna knows better.

A skilled healer from a neutral clan, she has learned that survival is rarely clean. She trusts herbs, skill, and hard truths, not pretty promises or men who think honor can shield them from the world’s cruelty.

But when Caelan and Morna are captured and thrown into the brutal prison camp of Blackwood, every belief they cling to is tested.

Forced together in hunger, danger, and darkness, their guarded alliance becomes something far more dangerous. A touch held too long. A look that says too much. A need neither of them can afford.

Caelan wants to protect her without losing himself.

Morna wants to trust him without surrendering the walls that kept her alive.

But in a place designed to break the soul before the body, love may demand more than tenderness. It may demand impossible choices, bitter sacrifices, and the courage to see someone at their worst and choose them anyway.

Because some loves are not soft.

Some loves survive by bleeding.

Perfect for readers who love Scottish Highland romance with forced proximity, fierce emotional tension, morally tested heroes, resilient heroines, survival stakes, forbidden tenderness, and hard-won love, A Vow of Thorns is the fourth book in the Oaths of the Iron Highlands series.
