The Oath That Ate Our Names

At Palimpsest Academy, Scriptborn rivals Otho and Veyr discover a line of living ink proving they were married for seven years in a history erased from the world. Recovering each missing letter restores desire, guilt, and another dangerous oath—while weakening the grammar that keeps the academy above its black sun. To save their students, they must burn the marriage anchor, remove ownership from their true names, and choose a love that can be edited or ended by either man.

Two living-script rivals uncover proof of a seven-year marriage erased from reality, but restoring their names could drop their academy into a black sun.
