A New Spear
The First Book of Spears

In the storm-drenched brothel where he was born, Thomasyn Saye’s fate was sealed. Marked as a Spear—a protector of the Realm—before his first breath, his life was destined to be forged in discipline, pain, and sacrifice. Taken from his mother and thrust into the hands of the ancient order, Thomasyn must endure the brutal rites and relentless training that will shape him into a weapon for the greater good.


But the path of a Spear is not one of honour alone. Shadows lurk even in the hallowed halls of the Realm, and danger is closer than the battlefield. As Thomasyn grows, the secrets of the Spears are revealed, testing not only his body but also his soul.


Among the Spear trainers, wet nurses, and Wooders, loyalties clash, ambitions rise, and the weight of tradition bears heavily. The Realm demands everything from its protectors, but how much is too much?
