Seventeen-year-old Ciardis has grown up in poverty, a cleaner in a small vale on the outskirts of the empire. But beneath her empire’s seemingly idyllic surface lies a hidden secret. Whispers of an inept crown Prince are growing ever louder—intensified by the five year anniversary of the soulbond initiations.
Amidst scandalous whispers, Ciardis finds herself chosen to train for the Companion’s Guild. She leaves her home and sets off on a personal journey to become a Court Companion. A position she’d never thought possible for a lowly servant to obtain, she must prove that she has the skills to attract a Patron.
But she must master those skills quickly. If the legends are true, only Ciardis can harness the power to raise a Prince in an Imperial Court sworn to bring him down.
This sensational series debut melds intricate storylines with remarkable characters and unforgettable magic. Sworn To Raise is ideal for fans of Kristin Cashore, Michelle Sagara, and Maria Snyder.

I finished book 3 about five minutes before putting the post up. These books were very slow and I really wasn't thrilled with them. I thought they would be so much better than they actually were. I honestly don't know what to say about these books at all.
I would rate all three of these books around a 3.5 and that doesn't happen often. I actually almost gave up on the series but I pushed through. I thought there was just too much information in some parts of these books. The plot, writing and characters are all extremely well thought out and done well. However it was a very slow read. It took me about two weeks to read each book and that almost never happens.
