The Ties That Bind is Rob J. Hayes’s debut series and a cornerstone of his grimdark fantasy catalog. The trilogy follows multiple point-of-view characters through a world where inquisitors hunt heretics, outlaws carve out their own justice, and no one’s motives are entirely clean. The Heresy Within (2013) introduces a cast that includes the Black Thorn, a notorious outlaw, and Thanquil, an Arbiter sent to track down a dangerous heretic.

The Colour of Vengeance (2013) and The Price of Faith (2013) continue the interwoven storylines as alliances shift and betrayals mount. The Bound Folio (2012) is a companion collection of short stories set in the same world. The series earned Hayes a following in the self-published fantasy community and set the tone for his later work.
