The Walls of Shimar: A risky job. A broken crew. A deadly secret.

Sam Clarke

From gritty taverns to ruthless power plays, The Walls of Shimar is a masterclass in tension and intrigue. Mylo and Skye’s relentless fight for survival is as captivating as the dangerous, vividly drawn world they inhabit—a must-read for anyone who loves their fantasy fast-paced, sharp-witted, and utterly addictive. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows, Throne of Glass, and The Lies of Locke Lamora.

Mylo, a seventeen-year-old smuggler from Traxia’s notorious Seventh District, loses a valuable shipment belonging to a ruthless crime lord and has three weeks to pay him back. The alternative is a shallow grave.

An aristocrat-on-the-run offers him a fortune to deliver him and his fiancée to the Kingdom of Shimar. The risks are high – Traxia is at war, and the invaders are hunting the highborns down – but Mylo can’t afford to refuse. He cobbles together a crew and embarks on the journey that could save his life. But nothing is what it seems. Every member of the expedition is hiding something. Something that could tear them apart. One by one, their deepest secrets float to the surface, and Mylo will have to choose between his loyalties and his heart.
