Cinder Vale never wanted to be a hero. He wanted to forge horseshoes and marry the girl next door. But when the magical Oath System assigns him the Knight class and forces him into a political marriage, his world shatters. At the altar, his true love Sera Delacroix exposes their secret—and triggers a catastrophic quest that could doom them both. Caught between his family's safety and the woman he loves, Cinder must navigate a world where breaking a vow means becoming Forsaken—a hunted outcast whose own skin consumes them alive. As he delves into the system's dark origins, he discovers that the Oath System is not divine law, but a flawed spell that has enslaved his world for centuries. With the help of Sera, who holds the key to destroying it, Cinder faces the ultimate choice: save his family by betraying love, or shatter the system at the cost of everyone he knows.
