Description
Where duty is born, and destiny is shaped by sacrifice.
A New Spear opens the Spears saga with the harrowing birth of Thomasyn Saye, a child marked from his first breath to serve the Realm. In a world where Spears are trained from infancy to stand between darkness and light, his path begins in pain, honour, and the watchful eyes of those sworn to shape him.
Douglas Owen builds a vivid, unflinching world of tradition, power, and sacrifice. From the storm-lashed night of Thomasyn’s birth to the strict trials that forge Spears in the capital, the novel explores themes of loyalty, survival, and the price of greatness. This is not a realm of soft comforts—the Spears are raised in discipline, tested in body and spirit, and bound to a legacy that will either destroy them or make them legends.
Highlights include:
- The haunting origins of Thomasyn Saye, destined to become a Spear.
- The secretive Wooders, failed Spears who serve as healers and seekers of the next generation.
- The unyielding training rituals that strip away weakness and forge strength.
- The moral lines between protection, obedience, and cruelty in a society built on survival.
Richly imagined and relentless in its scope, A New Spear is the first step into an epic fantasy series where heroes are not born, but made—and the cost of that making is everything.
Whether you’re discovering Douglas Owen for the first time or stepping into his latest darkly compelling world, A New Spear promises a gripping beginning to a saga of courage, sacrifice, and destiny.
