Hello there,
First of all, thank you so much to everyone who has signed up so far. At 220,000 words, The Shackled Oath is no small commitment, especially as a story that doesn’t follow current romantasy trends, so I’m incredibly grateful to every reader who has chosen to give it a chance.
I’m also genuinely gobsmacked that some of you managed to finish this doorstopper in less than a week! Thank you for not only reading, but for truly engaging with the book. Seeing that the characters, relationships, and overall tone landed the way I hoped they would means more than I can say.
And to answer the question a few of you have asked: yes, Book Two is coming. It is already written and currently in the editing stage.
The ebook of The Shackled Oath is available for pre-order, and the paperback will be coming too — I’m currently waiting on the initial proof copy.
Readers who signed up for Book One will be very welcome to apply for the Book Two ARC when it becomes available.
Thank you again for your trust, your time, and for giving a debut author a chance.
