—plot twists may keep you gasping, but shining beneath it all are beautiful themes of brotherhood, friendship, and what it truly means to pledge your oath. – Amber Kirkpatrick, award winning author of Until the Rising and Unleashed
Stein so beautifully and tragically shows us that the words we promise, and sometimes the promises we break, have rippling effects on the lives we touch…The tension these characters face cause us to look hard at our own motivations, our own promises, and decide what is worth fighting for. –Emily Barnett, author of Thread of Dreams
Every oath holds power.
In a land where the Earth spawns terrible beasts capable of moving through all but stone, the Sky bestows power to those bound by Oaths.
As earthbound creatures invade, bringing with them chaos and whispers of a coming war, protector and Overseer Tehran fights to keep his people safe. After losing his best friend to the beasts and with the stability of the region deteriorating, Tehran heads to the Capital to plead for support from the Order of the Sky.
When his friend’s widow stows aboard the transport, determined to hold the Order accountable for the death of her husband, Tehran’s plans are derailed. Torn between upholding his responsibility as an Overseer or honouring his friend’s memory, Tehran must either choose the Oaths that have forged him or trust new bonds to guard the fate of the Mercurial.

About the Author
katee stein
As legend has it, Katee Stein was born with a book in her hand. Although never officially confirmed, reports suggest her earliest years were spent haunting the local library. It is unclear what profound thoughts led Katee to writing her first book, The Nameless Stegosaurus, but her love of storytelling took root from that moment on.
Once grown, Katee traveled, met the love of her life, had two amazing children, and started working in special education. And through it all words never stopped swirling, begging to be released. Finally, when the ache in her chest became too much, she started to write the stories that had lived so long in her head.
So it was, Katee has learned the value of the long way around. The uncharted course that spun a lifetime of experience into the foundation to create worlds and explore possibilities.
Of course if you were to meet her, she’s of an ordinary sort who loves coffee and slow mornings; chickens and sunrises; and most of all, her people.
