Ruthless Vows

Why these tropes fit

Ruthless Vows is the epic conclusion to Rebecca Ross’s Divine Rivals duology, a high-fantasy romantic epic. Two weeks after returning home bruised and heartbroken from the front, journalist Iris Winnow learns Roman is missing, while the city of Oath remains in disbelief and ignorance of the ongoing war. Assigned to report on the god Dacre’s movements, Iris and her companion Attie travel west into danger, even as the conflict threatens to reach their unprepared, fracturing home. Meanwhile, Roman, suffering from amnesia after waking in Dacre’s realm, writes articles for the god who healed him while uncertain of his loyalties. When he strikes up a secret correspondence with a mysterious pen pal, he must choose between standing with Dacre or betraying him, and his growing connection to Iris pulls him toward her side of the war, leading the pair to risk their hearts and futures to change the tide of the conflict.
