Waiting on Wednesday (3): The Oathbreaker's Shadow by Amy McCulloch



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine that showcased upcoming releases that we are eagerly awaiting.




My WoW this week is:


Title: The Oathbreaker's Shadow (The Knots Sequence #1)
Author: Amy McCulloch
Publisher: Random House Children's Publishers
Release Date: June 4, 2013


From Goodreads:
Fifteen-year-old Raim lives in a world where you tie a knot for every promise that you make. Break that promise and you are scarred for life, and cast out into the desert.

Raim has worn a simple knot around his wrist for as long as he can remember. No one knows where it came from, and which promise of his it symbolises, but he barely thinks about it at all—not since becoming the most promising young fighter ever to train for the elite Yun guard. But on the most important day of his life, when he binds his life to his best friend (and future king) Khareh, the string bursts into flames and sears a dark mark into his skin.

Scarred now as an oath-breaker, Raim has two options: run, or be killed.

Why it's my WoW:

Honestly? I have no idea. I read the summary months ago and made grabby hands. That's all I got.
