Oath Bound to the Skull

She doesn’t like being called “The One Who Has Sworn to the Skull.” It doesn’t even convey a fraction of her devotion to Ananshaeul, the god of death. She dreams of becoming his priestess, and now she has only one final trial left. She will have fourteen days to kill the seven people described in the ancient ritual song—among them the one who will make her soul and body sing from love. Pyrr is the embodied lethal force, and she will easily sacrifice a human life to the deity—and if she must, she will even give her own. She has never bound herself to anyone. Only once did she meet a man whom she… remembered. He put down the rebellion in Dombang—a thousand-year-old city standing over a swamp teeming with evil creatures. Pyrr, together with two witnesses, goes there to find this man among the dark, winding canals and put an end to him… A novel from the world of “The Chronicles of the Nethesang Throne.”
