The Sworn is the beginning of a new adventure set in the world of The Chronicles of the Necromancer from one of the most exciting writers of dark fantasy, Gail Z. Martin. After millennia of silence, the legendary Dread are stirring in their burrows - and no one knows what hand wakes them and whom they will serve when they rise.

In a country ravaged by civil war, Summoner-King Martris Drayke must attempt to gather an army to meet his kingdom’s next great threat. Meanwhile, as an untested generation of rulers face their first battle, Tris seeks new allies from among the living – and the dead.

Now, Drayke turns to the Sworn, a nomadic clan of warriors bound to protect the Dread. But even the mighty Sworn do not know what will happen when the Dread awake. All are certain, though, that war is coming to the Winter Kingdoms.
