A Whispered Oath: A Dark Fantasy Romance Novella (A Dance of Spirit and Bones)

This was a fast-paced story that follows Marianne, a knight of an Order who is ordered to recover an artifact and find the thief. During her travels, fate intervenes when she meets Ayzliz and despite them being on opposing sides, they are bound together when the artifact activates.

I heavily sympathized Marianne's backstory and her need to belong to something. The characters were interesting but the writing felt a bit disjointed and the character building could have been better. I was still interested in the book and came up with theories to fill in the gaps.

I'll read the second book and see what happens with Marianne and Ayzliz.
