The Walls of Shimar (The Outcasts of the Six Kingdoms)

A smuggler with nothing left to lose. A noble girl with everything to hide. Mylo Durand knows better than to trust anyone—especially not highborns. But when he and his partner Skye land on the wrong side of a ruthless crime boss, they’re given one impossible shot at survival: smuggle two high-ranking fugitives out of Traxia before the kingdom burns. The catch? Their path is laced with checkpoints, traitors, and a stretch of sea no sane person dares cross—unless they’re desperate enough to make a deal with Phoenix Kijani, a young pirate captain known more for bloodshed than mercy. Keeping their feelings in check is just as tricky. Especially when one of the highborns turns out to be nothing like Mylo expected: kind, clever, quietly brave… and promised to someone else. With soldiers at their backs, secrets piling up, and every escape route laced with betrayal, Mylo is about to learn that survival in this high-stakes fantasy comes at a cost. Some debts are paid in coin. Others in loyalty, freedom—even your heart. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows, Throne of Glass, The Lies of Locke Lamora, To Kill a Kingdom, An Ember in the Ashes, Fable, The Gilded Wolves, Daughter of the Pirate King, Defy the Night, The Shadows Between Us, and These Hollow Vows — The Walls of Shimar delivers shar banter, brutal stakes, and a slow-burn romance set against a sea of secrets. ***Book 1 in the The Outcast of the Six Kingdoms*** ***Book 2, The Towers of Xakya, is available on e-book, paperback and Kindle Unlimited*** ***A Page Turner Awards Finalist*** "What a great story! It was difficult to put the book down. Wonderful antihero main characters, a marvellous world and a gripping story. I will definitely read all the other books by Sam Clarke and can hardly wait for the next book about Mylo and the others!" Goodreads "I absolutely loved this book! I am a sucker for a found family trope and Phoenix, Kalmar, Maximillian, Leni, Mylo, and Skye provide a satisfying blend of sibling banter, undercurrents of burgeoning romance, distrust and rivalry. Mylo is the narrator and while he is an interesting character in his own right, it is not his story which carries the adventure. A lost princess with a price on her head, a hapless courier, a pirate and his first mate, sympathetic magic, and a trek across sea and sand all conspire to create a page turner of an adventure." Goodreads "A brilliantly written book, with a fast paced and engaging story line full of unique and interesting characters. Each character has their own well-developed backstory, and watching their relationships unfold was a real joy. The world building and magic system were very well thought out, full of things I’ve never seen before (even as an avid fantasy reader! This book is a must read for anyone who enjoyed Six of Crows or The Lies of Locke Lamora, is has the same loveable rogue pulling off far to clever schemes vibe with a hint of magic to boot, I loved it!" Goodreads "What comes next is a cast of some really fun characters, each with a secret of their own and a race against time on a perilous journey across the sea and land. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows." Goodreads "A fantastic fantasy with romantic undertones." Goodreads
