The Shackled Oath — Book One

A captain born without magic in a world ruled by it. A blood mage bound by guilt and dangerous power. When an ancient abyssal threat rises, their shattered loyalties may be the only thing standing between the continent and ruin.

The Shackled Oath is a romantasy series filled with political intrigue, slow-burn tension, found family, and the kind of choices that leave scars.

About Zenna

Zenna Lake writes epic fantasy romance for readers who love sharp edges with their slow burn: broken oaths, dangerous men, impossible magic, and found families who refuse to let each other fall.

When she's not tormenting her characters, she can usually be found buried under a blanket with a stack of romantasy paperbacks, tinkering with world maps, or plotting yet another series she absolutely does not have time to write.

Her debut series, The Shackled Oath, brings together political intrigue, holy and abyssal magic, and a squad of beautifully damaged idiots doing their best in a broken world.

Expect in these books

  • Epic worlds & layered magic
  • Slow-burn, emotionally messy romance
  • Found family & ride-or-die squads
  • Political intrigue and looming war

Worlds & Stories

The Shackled Oath is on the way — an epic fantasy romance series built on dangerous magic, found family, and oaths that cut deep. Here’s the vibe of the world without spoilers.

The Shackled Oath

A war-torn continent ruled by power, politics, and blood-bound bargains. A squad of misfits tries to hold the line while something ancient stirs beneath the surface.

Epic scope. Intimate stakes.

Found Family in Enemy Territory

From war camps to palace corridors, ragtag squads of assassins, healers, and mages learn to fight beside the one person they swore they’d never trust.

Banter, loyalty, and quiet, devastating loyalty.

Dangerous Men, Reluctant Queens

Knife-edged romances where the person most likely to ruin you is also the one standing between you and the dark. Respect first, trust slowly, longing always.

Yearning, not toxicity.
