Oath Sworn
by K. N. Banet
Oath Sworn throws you into the unexpected life of Jacky Leon, a pragmatic bar owner who suddenly finds herself an accidental werecat. She never asked for supernatural responsibilities, but when a human caught in a werewolf pack's power struggle needs protection, Jacky gives her word. And for Jacky, her word is absolute. The reading experience is a relentless, gritty ride, full of street-level action and the tense undercurrent of supernatural politics. It's empowering to watch Jacky navigate a world of ancient laws and dangerous shifters, all while staying true to her fiercely independent nature. This is for readers who crave intense urban fantasy with a strong, self-made heroine who's more about action and loyalty than grand pronouncements, and who appreciate a tough, suspenseful journey of overcoming adversity.
