Oathbreaker

Amal, Lady Horn, and her guards are charged with preserving one of the great secrets of Larossa: an abandoned Fortress.The chief of the Oathbreakers, Amal is one of only a handful of people aware of the true dangers the abandoned Fortress of Salonen presents.

But more than that, he feels drawn to the abandoned Fortress, as if he belongs there…
