Oathbound to the fifth prince of the empire, Mateo and his friends head north.
The Fifth Prince, Isaac Cassius Kell, has been sent from the empire’s capitol to the mountainous northern border, and Mateo and his Iron Wing Feather have been sent along to keep him safe. Tasked with guarding and advising the prince, Mateo quickly realizes that the job is more complicated than he anticipated.
Not only is the Prince locked in a hidden struggle with his four siblings, all of whom want the throne, but he has no desire to face the Barbarians he is supposed to be negotiating with. As Mateo navigates the complexities of the fight for the Imperial throne, he’ll soon discover that the true threat to the Prince’s life comes from within the empire rather than outside of it.
The deepening mystery of his master’s past only adds to the challenge as Mateo and his friends are forced to contend with a mysterious group of magicians wielding mind-bending magic unlike anything Mateo has ever seen before.
The series
In the world of Iron Tyrant, power isn’t just a privilege—it’s a dangerous game where every move could mean life or death.

Cast into the brutal reality of military training, he finds himself shackled not only by the rules of the Iron Wing Army but also by a mysterious crow spirit bound to him. With the lowest-ranked Root Card in hand, Mateo must navigate a world where power is earned, not given, and survival demands more than just strength—it requires strategy, cunning, and the will to endure.
