The Hyburn Saga - Book One - The Orchard Oath
In the fertile heart of the valleys, the Orchard feeds more than just the bellies of its people-it binds them by duty, by silence, and by secrets.
When young Wilfred, a white-furred mouse with a curious mind and an even more curious past, is inducted into the Watchers, he expects a simple life of patrols and principles. But as he dons the green cloak, he begins to uncover the rot beneath the roots: missing farmers, unexplained orders, and whispers of monsters beyond the wall.
With friends by his side-brave Lira, headstrong Bran, kind-hearted Tansy, a squirrel named Flick and a proud fox called Orren, who'd rather be anywhere else-Wilfred must navigate the rules of the Watch, the weight of his family name, and a looming rebellion that threatens everything the orchard holds dear.
Loyalties will be tested, oaths will be broken, and truths once buried will claw their way to the surface.
Because in a place built on duty, sometimes the bravest thing you can do... is ask why.
