What Vows I Kept

Summary

Disillusioned and suffering from an unspeakable trauma, former Templar Cullen Rutherford joins the Inquisition to help quell the Knight Rebellion and fashion a new peace out of chaos. However, a dark lord has begun to rise, murdering the Templar leaders and warping them with terrible power. In this beautifully written tale, Cullen keeps a journal in which he struggles with withdrawals, guilt, and trauma, while desperately trying to keep the Inquisition from falling apart. Things begin to change when an elven mage arrives, wielding a strange magic of her own. Written in brief, accessible chapters, this sweeping fiction gives explores the human cost of blind faith. Comments from fans: "My god, this fic is absolutely phenomenal." "far more intelligent than some...best sellers." "legitimately one of the best character studies I've ever read." "It's become a fandom classic - something that i'll be able to come back to time and time again and enjoy it even more each time." "This is absolutely f[***]ing brilliant." "It's canon in my head now." "Your writing style is beautiful and you get into Cullen's character and personality so, so well. I adore it, honesty." "I demand more! It's so good!" "...extremely refreshing. I dearly wish more people wrote Cullen like this." NO AI TRAINING: Without limiting the author's exclusive rights under copyright, any use of this publication

— To be honest, I dislike the coat. The way it hangs. But in the field, when the only time we have is short, lives lost with every breath, one look is the only window they might have to find me. “They” meaning my men. “They” meaning my enemy. Both. At least as a Knight-Commander, the giveaway is the tilt of your men’s heads as you move in the battlefield. Veterans might catch it if they have the breathing room, but the green men won’t. The red and the lion mane out me like a pointed finger, but I am proud of it all the same. Against my judgement, I am proud.

The gardener Star: I think I really like the plot of the books and the fact that the characters face consequences of their actions. I also really love the fact that it has a "moral" That 'cruelty disguised as authority/protection is still cruelty' I think I will recommend it to my friends, specially the ones who don't...
