    About this ebook

    Crow’s Peak is a character driven fantasy series set in a world where beasts of the forest and monsters of legend walk in step with humanity, where ritual sorcery has not yet been ground under by the wheels of the machine age, and a hexed bloodline winds down through the centuries in search of redemption. An Astute Reader should keep in mind; things are not always as they seem.
    Included in this primer is a glossary of names and the first few chapters of the series starter, Oathbound.
