Oathbreaker: An Epic Fantasy Novel of Forbidden Magic, Political Intrigue, and a Kingdom That Destroys What It Fears

A century since the departure of the Gods, the Three Nations are now united beneath the Tsar. Magic has been outlawed, its power too dangerous to remain unchecked. All Magickers must surrender themselves to the crown, or face imprisonment and death.

Alana's mundane life has just been torn apart by the emergence of her brother's magic. Now they must leave behind everything they’ve ever known and flee – before the Tsar’s Stalkers pick up their trail. Tasked with hunting down renegade Magickers, the merciless hunters will stop at nothing to bring them before the Tsar’s judgement.

As the noose closes around Alana and her brother, disgraced hero Devon finds himself at odds with the law when he picks a fight with the wrong man. The former warrior has set aside his weapons, but now, caught between the renegades and the Stalkers, he is forced to pick a side – the empire, or the innocent.

A disgraced hero who swore he was done fighting. A brother and sister running for their lives. An empire that shows no mercy to either. Oathbreaker is the breathtaking first chapter in a new sword and sorcery series from NYT Bestselling Author Aaron Hodges — where good and evil are never as simple as the crown would have you believe.
