Elara has dreamed of him for longer than she can explain.

A faceless man she has never met, yet somehow knows. A longing she cannot name. A familiarity that feels more like memory than imagination. And always, the same words follow her back into waking:

Don't leave me again.

The Forgotten Oath is an intimate fantasy romance of witches and dragons, buried memories and ancient magic-and a love that remembers even when they do not.

Somewhere else, Dareth has been dreaming of her.

When their paths finally cross, recognition is instant. A witch who prefers the quiet of her forest to the company of most people and a dragon accustomed to keeping the world at a careful distance should be strangers.

They aren't.

Neither remembers the other, yet the connection between them feels older than memory. What begins as an inexplicable pull soon becomes something neither wants to walk away from. There is desire between them, but also an unexpected ease-the kind found in quiet mornings, teasing conversations, and moments that feel strangely familiar.

Whatever brought them together may be ancient. What begins growing between them now belongs entirely to them.

And that is precisely why Elara needs to understand it.

Their search for answers leads them toward two very different paths. Elara must face the Dream Walkers, who can reach the places memory cannot. Dareth must enter the domain of the Keepers of Bones, where even death is not enough to bury the truth.

What they uncover stretches across lifetimes.

So does the love.

But love is not the only thing that has followed them.

Some memories were lost. Some wounds never truly healed. And the deeper Elara and Dareth reach into what came before, the more they must face a painful truth: they have found each other before, but finding each other has never meant they were allowed to stay together.

This life is different.

This time, they know the past is there.

And this time, they can choose what comes next.
