Woodbound

Previously published as Woodbound: Ashes of Fate. This Definitive Edition has been extensively rewritten and expanded, with richer character development, deeper worldbuilding and a completely rebuilt final act.

He awakened without a name. The Forest gave him a purpose. A wooden raven may be his only path home.
Endrin wakes beneath an ancient oak with no memory of who he is or how he came to be there. The strange equipment attached to his body belongs to another world, unfamiliar markings encircle his arms, and somewhere beyond his reach, a woman and two frightened boys wait beside a hospital bed.

His only companion is Saga. A damaged wooden raven brought to life by his blood. Mischievous, fiercely loyal and somehow familiar, she leads Endrin into a hidden Forest woven through the roots of Yggdrasil, where ancient magic is failing and an army of iron is cutting into the living heart of the realm.

Chosen as Yggdrasil's new Guardian, Endrin must learn to wield a power he barely understands while uncovering the truth behind his missing memories. But the deeper he travels, the more he realises that the Forest's suffering is connected to the life he left behind, and that the enemy waiting among the corrupted roots knows exactly whom Endrin loves, even when Endrin himself cannot remember them.

To save the Forest, he must confront the man who stole his past.
To find his way home, he must discover why his soul was brought to Yggdrasil in the first place.
And to protect the little raven who has stood beside him from the beginning, Endrin may have to sacrifice everything he has only just begun to reclaim.

Woodbound: Ashes of Fate - Definitive Edition is an emotional epic-fantasy adventure about identity, family, sacrifice and the bonds that endure across worlds. It is the first book in the six-part Woodbound saga
