In the Dominion of Shackles, every soul is bound to a role at birth—except Oren, a caretaker who secretly unbinds others and hoards their chains in himself. When he publicly saves a child from a cruel fate, he becomes the most wanted fugitive. Hunted by the Binding Authority and stalked by the Unraveler, a void entity that devours free will, Oren must protect the people he freed while his own body crumbles. A wry, subversive epic fantasy that asks: what if breaking the rules is the only way to save everyone?
