Vows of Ash & Iron Sir Garrick Lenz

A kingdom in ash. A princess sold. A knight bound by silent adoration.When the paranoid King of Aethelgard shatters a sacred marriage contract with the brutal Oakhaven Empire to sell his daughter to the hyper-wealthy Solari Dominion, he triggers a catastrophic war. Caught in the center of the political fallout, the Princess is forced to flee. To keep her alive and out of the clutches of Oakhaven tracking "Hounds" and cutthroat Solari "Seekers," she is smuggled onto the road under the ultimate protection of Garrick Lenz.Garrick is the former Captain of the King's Guard and the legendary "Colossus Champion," a war hero who once solo-slayed an SS-Rank giant serpent. Now, to escape recognition, he lets his chiseled, pristine features fade beneath shaggier black hair and a rough beard, disguising himself as a common Grade B mercenary. Beside him travels the Princess, masquerading as a low-profile holy priestess with her face permanently shrouded beneath a white linen hood.Together, they drift from town to town, masquerading as simple adventurers taking low-stakes delivery and escort quests to stay on the move. They share a hidden cabin deep within the northern mountain forests, a sanctuary they can barely ever visit because staying stationary means certain capture.But the greatest danger isn't the war or the spies tracking them—it is the scorching, unspoken tension building inside their cramped canvas tents. For years, Garrick has loved the Princess silently from afar, locking his forbidden desires behind a wall of rigid, stoic professionalism and a painful awareness of his place. As forced proximity strips away their royal boundaries, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Surrounded by a continent out for their blood, the heaviest weight Garrick carries is the terrifying urge to break his final vow, pull her into his arms, and never let go.
