When gifted mapmaker Clara Marston is forced to marry stranger Elias Thorne, she expects a cage. Instead, she finds quiet love and unbreakable promises tied with red threads.
As war erupts, the Veridian Dominion seeks to harvest the highlanders’ powerful will as fuel. Elias marches into battle with Clara’s map and her vow: “Come home.”
He never returns.
For fifty-two years, Clara becomes “The Waiting Woman,” tying one red thread on the ancient oak for every year of his absence. Her body grows frail, but her will never wavers.
Then, one golden evening, an old scarred man with a faded red thread on his wrist finally comes home.
A sweeping tale of love, war, sacrifice, and redemption, The Unbroken Vow explores the power of waiting and a promise that outlasts time itself.
Love until the grave. And beyond.
Dear reader,
This story was born from two things I hold very dear: the defiant spirit of the Battle of Adwa and the beautiful Ethiopian saying Fikir eske Makabir — “Love Until the Grave.”
I wanted to write about a kind of love that refuses to let go. Not the flashy, instant kind you often see, but the quiet, stubborn, patient love that waits fifty-two years if it has to. Clara’s waiting is not weakness — it is the strongest form of rebellion in the entire story.
I also wanted to give Marcus Drake a long, painful, and ultimately beautiful redemption. Even the coldest hearts can learn how to become brothers.
If you have ever waited for someone you love — whether they came back or not — this book is for you.
Thank you for giving The Unbroken Vow a place in your heart. I hope the red threads in this story stay with you long after you turn the last page.
With gratitude,
Webi
