{"product_id":"the-reaching-blade-asif-shah-9798186512141","title":"The Reaching Blade: The Thread That Would Not Break","description":"Kasim was taught to count his breaths before he was taught to read. One, and one, and one: the discipline that keeps a Hashashin's hand steady, and his fear silent. For seventeen years it has never failed him.\u003cbr\u003eIt fails him at Hold Vael.\u003cbr\u003eThe job should have been simple. A lord who sold his own household to something that does not deal in gold. A debt that needs collecting before dawn. But the house on the cliff is already empty when Kasim's family arrives, and whatever emptied it is still there: patient, insectile, and utterly without mercy.\u003cbr\u003eBy morning, the coast will remember this night in whispers for a hundred years. Whoever survives it will not be the man he was when the sun went down.\u003cbr\u003eSomething ancient wants Kasim. Not his death. His obedience. And it is willing to take everyone he loves, one silence at a time, to get it.\u003cbr\u003eThe Reaching Blade opens The Thread That Would Not Break, a seven-volume epic about brotherhood, the price fate charges for a single act of defiance, and a man who learns, too late to stop it and too stubborn to accept it, that some debts outlive the living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Asif Shah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798186512141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.87d","brand":"Asif Shah","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174251700479,"sku":"9798186512141","price":12.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-reaching-blade-asif-shah-9798186512141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
