The Oathbound Relic: Oathbound Relics, Book 1

By N. Thane Hallow

Kael Marrin was supposed to die at dawn.

Framed for ward-treason and marched to the gallows, Kael makes the only bargain left-binding a forbidden, sentient relic to his soul. It saves his life...and starts a chain he was never meant to touch.

Now a relentless Warden hunts him through locks and oaths, a hidden ledger calls him Prime, and the shadow inside Kael's skull feeds on the truths that make him human. Every escape costs him something he can't afford to lose.

With a wounded mercenary at his side and an oath-bound historian fighting an invisible leash, Kael flees into a land where magic frays and ash falls like snow-because the next door waiting to open is the one that never should.

A fast-paced fantasy of relic-magic, ruthless bargains, and dangerous secrets-where every power has a price.

Oathbound Relics is a bingeable series. Continue in Book 2: Vault of Ash.
