I will be serializing this memoir with a new chapter twice a week, on Friday and Sunday.

Fifteen-year-old Raim lives in a world where you tie a knot for every promise that you make. Break that promise and you are scarred for life, and cast out into the desert. Raim has worn a simple knot around his wrist for as long as he can remember. No one knows where it came from, and which promise of his it symbolises, but he barely thinks about it at all - not since becoming the most promising young fighter ever to train for the elite Yun guard. But on the most important day of his life, when he binds his life to his best friend (and future king) Khareh, the string bursts into flames and sears a dark mark into his skin.

'The Oathbreaker's Shadow is a very promising debut in what bodes to be an electrifying duology.' - Robin Hobb ‘The most compelling new fantasy I’ve read in years.’ – Jonathan Stroud
