Description

For three thousand years, an immortal dragon has guarded a forgotten sanctuary, bound by an oath that will not let him leave, rest, or forget. He has watched generations die within these walls, protected by duty, never by choice.

Seren is the last of a cursed bloodline, hunted for magic that refuses to obey force. Her power answers only when she is freely chosen—a flaw that has left her running, alone, and defenseless. When she crosses the sanctuary threshold, the wards awaken and bind the dragon to her survival. He will protect her at any cost. But because his protection is compelled, her magic remains silent.

As hunters lay siege to the keep with weapons forged to kill immortals, dragon and witch are forced into an uneasy alliance. Ancient wounds reopen. Oaths begin to fracture. And Seren must decide whether she will flee once again—or choose to stay and face the war that has hunted her bloodline for centuries.

Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, The Dragon Who Swore to Stay is a slow-burn romantasy about ancient grief, chosen devotion, and the dangerous power of staying when survival demands escape.
