The Knots Sequence is Amy McCulloch’s debut work, a YA fantasy duology set in a world where magical knots record every oath and promise a person makes. The Oathbreaker’s Shadow (2013) follows a young man who accidentally breaks an oath and must deal with the supernatural consequences.

The Shadow’s Curse (2014) continues the story as the consequences of broken oaths spread. The duology draws on Mongolian-inspired world-building to create a fantasy setting distinct from the usual medieval European template.
