Oathbreaker 1

Assassin's Apprentice




Enter a world where honour means everything . . . unless you have nothing to lose

In Eyrie - a world of two moons, shapeshifters, and powerful magic - Aron of Brailing knows he owes loyalty to his guild, obedience to the code of the land, and his life to his closest companions, but it is his own family he holds closest to his heart.
Kidnapped and forced to become an assassin, Aron must learn to control and harness his own fearsome talents even as he grieves for the family he knows is lost forever. But when he is tempted to put everything aside everything he has learned in order to avenge his family's killers, will Aron make unforgivable mistakes?

Assassin’s Apprentice unveils an intriguing cast of characters whose sense of honour, strength, and history binds them together, and whose incredible talents of mind and body set them apart.

Praise for Oathbreaker 1

'In Oathbreaker, Vaught and Redmond have given us pathos, adventure, intrigue and, best of all, originality. The only annoying thing about this grand tale is that we have to wait for the next instalment.' 4 1/2 STAR REVIEW, GOOD READING
