The Broken Oath

Reach for this book when your child is navigating the unsettling realization that the adults they trust may have hidden the full truth from them. It is a vital tool for middle grade readers who are beginning to question family legacies and are learning to weigh their own intuition against the expectations of others. The story follows Liora as she navigates a fracturing magical world where ancient oaths are breaking and secrets about her own lineage are coming to light. While it is an epic fantasy filled with dragons and wolves, the core emotional resonance lies in the difficult transition from childhood innocence to the complex responsibilities of adolescence. It is age-appropriate for 8 to 12 year olds who are ready for slightly darker stakes and more nuanced character motivations. You might choose this if your child is struggling with a sense of betrayal or is learning that true leadership often requires choosing unity over the desire for absolute control.
