In the dark and relentless world of assassins bound by codes, hidden allegiances, and unbreakable oaths, Blood Oaths and Shadows offers a thrilling collection of interconnected short stories set within the legendary universe of John Wick. These stories plunge readers deep into the lives of the mysterious, ruthless assassins serving the elusive High Table-the shadowy council that governs their bloody world. Across cities and continents, readers meet a varied cast of killers, each with unique skills, motivations, and burdens of loyalty. From seasoned contract killers navigating a web of betrayal to fresh initiates learning the cost of the world they've entered, each story unravels the brutal consequences of life in this relentless society. Through deadly encounters, assassins cross paths with key figures in the underworld, including the legendary John Wick, testing their skill, loyalty, and resilience as they engage in deadly dance with the world's most feared assassin. Amidst the pulse-pounding action, the collection delves into the lore behind the High Table itself-the origins, the betrayals, and the age-old oaths that forged the Council into the nearly indestructible institution it is today. Some assassins are drawn to protect its legacy, while others seek to break free from its iron grip, unveiling an intricate tapestry of tradition, power, and revenge. Through the lens of each assassin's story, Blood Oaths and Shadows explores what it truly means to live-and die-by the rules of the High Table, offering fans of the John Wick universe a compelling exploration of loyalty, redemption, and the ultimate price of freedom.
