They Say the Oath Witness Lied

Kenta keeps the kingdom’s hardest promises alive by standing in the room when people swear. One wrong breath, one hidden lie, and an oath can turn from law into a weapon. He has spent fifteen years doing that job, and he is good at it because he never lets fear show. That control breaks when a powerful family claims an oath was never made, and Kenta is ordered to testify about the one agreement everyone wants erased. His mentor taught him how to watch a room, how to read hands, and how to survive pressure. Now he may have surpassed her in the one place that matters. The problem is that his rare power only answers to real fear, and he has spent years making sure he never feels it.
