Norman Reed (Not Reedus) Book 2: Ashes and Oaths
The world is breaking.
The Respawn Network, once the miracle that made death temporary, is failing. Heroes vanish into corrupted loops. Dungeons spill nightmares into the open air. The Ministry buries panic beneath paperwork while the Anti-Respawn League scrawls their creed in ash and blood.
Into this storm stumbles Norman Reed.
He is no hero-only a gravekeeper with a shovel, a crossbow, and a stubborn refusal to die. His knack for unravelling corrupted respawns has made him indispensable, though he'd rather be left alone to bury the dead. At his side lurches Gary-7, a glitching zombie sidekick who never respawns the same way twice. Some days philosopher, some days fool, some days best friend. Always trouble.
But the fight ahead is larger than graves and echoes.
Far above the Shattered Coast, the Celestials stir. Neither gods nor mortals, they watch mankind like absent parents, divided over whether to intervene as the world fractures. When one descends into the mortal plane, the balance shifts.
Beneath the League's stronghold, the Labyrinth waits. A dungeon twisted with corrupted proto-core logic, its shifting walls devour adventurers whole. Here Solenne and Thalya vanish, the party splintering as monsters bred by hatred stalk the halls. For Norman, the Labyrinth is both prison and mirror-forcing him into choices he despises, binding him with oaths he never wanted to swear.
And at the heart of it all lies the Shard. A fragment older than the Network, a splinter of fate itself. The Ministry wants to lock it away, the League wants to shatter the world with it, the Celestials fear its fracture in destiny. Norman only wants it buried. But the Shard whispers when he draws near, promising power that could end respawns forever-or end him.
He does not walk alone. The Respawnables follow: Rurik, scarred warrior; Solenne, priestess reborn in faith; Arin, wizard of endless plans; Viin, rogue with a laugh sharp as steel. With them come new recruits-Harrik the immovable shield, Tamsin the firebrand sorcerer, Fenn the bard of ill-timed songs, Morrin the monk of steady resolve. Together, mismatched and battle-worn, they are more than allies. They are proof that even in a failing world, trust can endure.
But ashes and oaths cannot be escaped. Norman has inherited the mantle of Gravekeeper Prime, his Final Rest binding him tighter to the world's unraveling fate. The Labyrinth will test him. The Shard will tempt him. The Celestials will judge him. And the League will break upon him-if he lets them.
Because if Norman Reed could fight off Death itself...
...what couldn't he fight?
Darkly comic, grimly atmospheric, and unflinchingly human, Ashes and Oaths continues the saga of the most reluctant hero ever to wield a shovel. A tale of monsters and men, of broken promises and unbreakable duty, it is the story of a gravedigger dragged into legend against his will-armed only with dirt under his nails, iron in his hands, and the will to bury what others fear to face.

About the Author
Mark Adams is 43 (so he says) writes fiction that's dark, funny, and occasionally smells like grave dirt. Specialising in fantasy and humour, he crafts stories full of sentient paperwork, malfunctioning resurrection systems, and the kind of dungeons that would give OSHA an aneurysm.
He's currently working on Norman Reed (Not Reedus)-a gloriously grim and graphic series following a grumpy gravedigger, his undead sidekick, and the broken respawn system that ruined everything (again).
When not knee-deep in plot holes and sarcastic footnotes, Mark can be found arguing with goblins, sharpening metaphors, or misplacing important plot devices in cursed filing cabinets. He believes a thesaurus is a weapon, not a tool, and has no intention of writing anything "normal."

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
