Dreadmarrow

Can three unlikely companions, each hiding a secret, survive one deadly quest?

When Tessa Skye’s father is killed by order of a powerful conjurer, her world is turned upside down. As a locksmith’s apprentice with a magical amulet that lets her transform into a sparrow, Tessa is determined to do the impossible, bring him back.

Her only hope lies in stealing the Dreadmarrow, the conjurer’s most prized artifact, said to hold power over life and death.

But she won’t make the journey alone. Ash, a quiet boy with unmatched skill in swordplay, is desperate to avenge his twin brother’s mysterious death. Calder, a wandering fortuneteller with a bag full of clever tricks, is searching for the girl he once loved, now vanished into the conjurer’s shadowy world.

Together, the three must cross the dangerous Cursed Wood, survive attacks by monstrous boarmen and wraiths, and outwit the deadly forces that guard the conjurer’s fortress. Each of them has something to hide. Each of them has something to lose. And if they fail, more than one life may be lost forever.

Full of danger, heart, and magic, Dreadmarrow is a tale of unlikely friendships, unbreakable courage, and the powerful choices that shape who we become, even when all hope seems lost.

Some doors were never meant to be unlocked.
