The Collarbound

'Beautifully wrought dark fantasy' NetGalley Reviewer

A MAN MARKED BY MAGIC. A WOMAN MARKED BY HER PAST.

On the other side of the Shadowpass rebellion is brewing and refugees have begun to trickle into the city at the edge of the world. Looming high on the cliff is The Nest a fortress full of mages who offer protection but also embody everything the rebellion is fighting against: a strict hierarchy based on magic abilities.

When Isha arrives as a refugee she attempts to fit in amongst the other mages but her Kher tattoo brands her as an outcast. She can't remember her past or why she has the tattoo. All she knows is that she survived. She doesn't intend to give up now.

Tatters who wears the golden collar of a slave knows that this rebellion is different from past skirmishes. He was once one of the rebels and technically they still own him. He plans to stay in the shadows until Isha appears in his tavern. He's never seen a human with a tattoo and the markings look eerily familiar . . .

As the rebellion carves a path of destruction towards the city an unlikely friendship forms between a man trying to escape his past and a woman trying to uncover hers until their secrets threaten to tear them apart.

The Collarbound hooks from the opening page and will appeal to fans of magical brink-of-war settings like that of The Poppy War and The City of Brass.
