The Tenets in the Tattoos

Becky James

Breaking the tenets of Special Forces means one thing. Death.

Thorrn has his life mapped out - be the best swordsman in the king's army and become Captain one day. What doesn't fit in with his plans is some short, unimpressive waif claiming to be his soul companion, the platonic other half of his spirit.

But when the king demands that he hand Evyn over, Thorrn is confronted with a choice: protect Evyn and keep her secret from the magical community who would drain her for the power resonating inside her, or turn her over to save his career, family name, and reputation.

When a powerful mage moves against the kingdom, Thorrn and Evyn will have to summon all their courage and find allies from unexpected corners - including different worlds and times. For alongside the realms of Oberrot and Earth are the multiverses, and one of them should surely be able to help...

A swordsman, an apothecarist, a shy librarian ("I'm beginning to think being underestimated is kind of my superpower"), and a powerful mage. Only they can save the kingdom.

A page-turning new adventure awaits, from a fresh voice in fantasy. Contains twinned souls with a twist, enemies to inseparable friends, coming of age, learning to accept yourself and others, some epic swordfights, and a smattering of romance.

"The plot is gripping, but it's a solid combination between a solid plot and a downright fabulous character development, as well as an absolutely beautiful narrative, that turns this debut into an addictive, practically unputdownable read." - The Magic Book Corner

"An action-packed adventure...The storyline is ambitious in its scope and really is one for fans of fantasy and science fiction, with multiple tropes all utilised to great effect as Thorrn and Evyn's path unfolds." - LoveBooks.co.uk
