I really enjoyed reading A Vow of Vengeance (Vows of Unity #2) by @lionelhart.bsky.social. This epic spinoff series expands the world of orcs, elves, & humans w/an elf assassin working with an orc spy to put down a rebellion. So good! #mmromance #romantasy

Book cover: An elf, holding magical light, and a green orc seem to sneak in a remote cold land w/a waterfall behind them.

I loved reading A Vow to Heal (Vows of Unity #1) by @lionelhart.bsky.social. It's the perfect follow-up to The Orc Prince trilogy. In this book, a shy orc druid healing is sent on a mission by his king, paired w/ an prickly elf military officer. Danger, magic, passion, love. Next up>Bk 2 #mmromance

Book cover: A green-hued orc healer and an adoring elf embrace and look deeply at each other with mountains in the background.

🔥 NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT 🔥 A Vow of Vengeance is coming on May 15th! 🗡️ Cover and blurb reveals below! A haughty elf assassin and a charismatic orc spy must learn to work together in order to succeed at their nigh-impossible task - and resist falling in love along the way. #mmromance #romantasy

Cover reveal image for A Vow of Vengeance by Lionel Hart. A tall male orc with dark hair stands back to back with a fair skinned male elf with light brown hair. The orc smirks down at the elf, who is conjuring fire from his hands.

First paragraph of the blurb for A Vow of Vengeance in white text over a green misty forest background. The text reads: "On the verge of losing his position within the mysterious Order of Twilight, elven assassin Alwyn Alara is charged by his mentor with a secret, dangerous task: infiltrate a mission to capture the rebel orc warlord Zesh, and kill him before he’s brought to face the justice of King Zorvut. Though Alwyn is used to working alone, he finds himself annoyed and charmed in equal measure by the orc spy Krujha of the Shifting Sands."

Second paragraph of the blurb for A Vow of Vengeance in white text over a green misty forest background. The text reads: "Krujha has devoted his life to ending the war that now threatens to engulf his homeland once again. But as their mission reaches a tipping point, for the first time he dreams of a life in an era of peace. Though he and Alwyn seem to have little in common, they can’t deny their attraction to each other, even as the fate of two nations weighs on their shoulders."

Third paragraph of the blurb for A Vow of Vengeance in white text over a green misty forest background. The text reads: "As they learn to work together, Alwyn and Krujha find in each other a kindred soul, as a life of duty and violence is all they’ve ever known. With the mission and their newfound romance on the line, they must choose to share their secrets and learn to trust each other—or die trying."

Lionel Hart @handle.invalid · 14/05/2025

A Vow to Heal comes out THIS FRIDAY! 🤩 I'm so excited! Writing Korik and Varen was so much fun and challenging in the best way as a writer. Plus I got to include SO MANY of my favorite tropes! Like a BIG size difference 🥵 There's still time to preorder at books.lionelhart.ink/heal #mmromance

A trope map for A Vow to Heal. The cover is centered in a pale yellow to purple watercolor gradient. In the cover, a fair-skimmed elf with long dark hair in a neat braid smirks up at a taller orc. The elf has his hand under the orc's chin, who is meeting his gaze and blushing.
The cover is surrounded by black text with trope information, which reads:
Out May 16th
High fantasy
Arrogant elf x shy orc
Size Difference
Forced Proximity
Trapped together in a snowstorm
Spinoff series
Slow Burn

A link to the book is included at the bottom in black text: books.lionelhart.ink/heal

Okay, so! Book update: the cover should be finalized next week. Preorder should come up shortly after that so I'm PRETTY sure the book should be out by mid-May. I am so so sorry it has taken so long!! Thank you for your patience!! Personal update: I got laid off at my day job 😭 so... yeah

I gotta tell ya... The past couple weeks have been rough 💀 I was hoping to have a book on preorder/about to release by now but the cover is taking longer than expected, luckily once it's done everything should fall into place pretty quickly...

Me? Writing?? Nah I can only get dopamine from Infinity Nikki right now. Books are gonna have to wait (this is a joke I am still releasing a book soon but it IS true that I have been playing a lot more video games than writing lately, I'm a trans person in the US I'm allowed rn 😭)

This is absolutely crucial advice. Read it. Read it again. Repeat it to yourself. Do not allow yourself to be overloaded. OVERLOAD IS A DELIBERATE TACTIC.
