"‘The Shattered Oath’ is a gripping first instalment of a trilogy that has a lot of scope for expansion."
A world in turmoil, a family separated, an epic fantasy adventure awaits. In a time of political turmoil the once proud protectors, the Royal Skuas are under scrutiny as they rule the seas without mercy. Drawn into their midst is ten-year-old Todd Witherow, his father imprisoned; he must keep his identity a secret as he tries to survive mandated service within the Skuas’ ruthless ranks and under the command of the sinister Commander Grenyard. ‘The Shattered Oath’ is the first of a trilogy and sets up what I expect to be an epic fantasy adventure. This first instalment establishes within C.S. Wood’s world, separating Todd from his father and as corruption runs rife and the threat of revolution looms. You’re thrust into this turmoil as the world is built around you, learning more about the Skuas and the kingdom as we meet new characters. ‘The Shattered Oath’ is a gripping first instalment of a trilogy that has a lot of scope for expansion. I’m intrigued to see what happens in the rest of the trilogy.
