The Freeman's Oath


Book Description

Meet Jonathan Gray, a rare book dealer who can't seem to sell any books. The death of his parents has him casting about, trying to uphold the bookselling legacy he inherited from his father as best he can. Meanwhile, his friends aren't doing much better at being adults. The romantic side of things isn't exactly rockstar quality, either. Jon's in trouble. He realizes he needs to grow up, fast, or have his worst fear-alienating all the people close to him-swallow him like a mushroom cloud. Luckily, Jon is presented with a way out. When an old customer shows up with a centuries-old copy of a long-lost and exceedingly puritanical document, the Oath of a Free-man, the hope of a huge sale gives Jon one chance to save the business and redeem himself.
