The Oathbound Oathbreakers (Vows and Honor 1 & 2)
Tarma shena Tale'sedrin was the lone survivor of a raiders' killing spree. Driven by the desire to avenge her clan and refound it one day, she became a Swordsworn warrior-priestess of the Goddess and set forth to track down her enemies. Kethry's was a different story. Daughter of an impoverished noble house, forced into a hateful marriage at the age of 12, she fled from her husband and became a White Winds mage, honing her inborn talen for magic through intensive training. Yet the goddess had marked both women for her own, and despite the separate paths they'd chosen, inevitably they were drawn together-- bound by a blood-oath to defend one another, and found a new Clan Tale'sedrin.
