Description
An orphan girl marked for death.
A would-be paladin thrown into war.
And a mad prophet who would end the night forever.
…no more dusk…
Sadia and her chosen siblings are reviled in Qasira, scorned as al-Yetim — children of no one. But when she defies a zealot’s attempt to burn a child alive, she becomes a fugitive, hunted for the life she saved. Her only chance of escape lies with a roguish dwarf and his ramshackle river barge. But fleeing is not enough. As she journeys farther from home, Sadia must fight against a horror she can’t even comprehend — all to save a world that doesn’t even want her.
…and no more dawn…
Gideon has long dreamed of swearing the Oath of Woe to become a paladin, but on the eve of his final trial, doubt gnaws at his faith. Before he can prove himself, war arrives at the monastery gates. Archoness Lorica, an infamous commander of the Church Militant, demands the untested recruits march to face a growing darkness — one responsible for the slaughter of her warriors. Thrust into an unfathomable nightmare, Gideon must survive his first battle… and learn that the price of glory is paid in blood.
…only the unsetting sun:
the burning Lidless Eye….

This book is well written. I was hooked pretty much from the start. There's a lot of found-family going on, which is one of my favorite tropes. The story follows two main characters, Gideon and Sadia. Though their plots have yet to converge, I think I can see where this is heading. I'm very interested in continuing this story!
Both MCs have a strong sense of what's right, and handle it in different ways. Both are trying their best. The author gives you enough insight to see why they do what they do.
The side characters thus far have all been interesting and probably deserving of their own books (Dalgrim and Lu especially!).
I think YA and fantasy fans will enjoy this book a lot.

Fantasy, no spice. Young Adult Categories.
Orphans protecting orphans and the lost trying to find their way.
We follow two characters as they search for their place in the world, both chasing and being chased by light & dark. Their fates are surely intertwined, we just haven't figured it out yet!
This book had me hooked from the very start and it's momentum did not let up the whole time. You really do feel for the characters and their motivations as they do what they think is right, leading them to all sorts of trouble.
An incredibly well written fantasy with an intricate and intriguing world with complex characters. I will absolutely be impatiently awaiting the next installment in The Oath of Woe series.

No Man’s Daughter is a beautifully written, emotionally rich fantasy that delivers a powerful blend of introspection, adventure, and found-family dynamics. Set in a world both intricate and vividly imagined, T.H. Abram crafts a tale that pulls you in from the very first page and doesn’t let go.
At the heart of the story are Gideon and Sadia—two compelling protagonists navigating their own separate but thematically intertwined journeys. Each is searching for belonging, purpose, and light in a world where the line between good and evil isn’t always clear. Their moral compasses are strong, even when their choices diverge, and you can’t help but root for them as they struggle through the consequences of doing what they believe is right.
The supporting cast is just as engaging. Characters like Dalgrim and Lu add depth and color, hinting at untold stories that enrich the world and leave you hoping for future installments to explore them further. Abram has a talent for giving even side characters nuance and emotional weight.
There’s no romance here—no "spice"—which lets the emotional arcs breathe and gives space for themes of loyalty, identity, and grief to shine. The pacing is brisk without feeling rushed, and the dual perspectives create a layered, suspenseful narrative that keeps you flipping pages.
If you’re a fan of YA fantasy, especially stories rooted in character-driven storytelling and morally complex worlds, No Man’s Daughter is a must-read. It’s a promising start to The Oath of Woe series—and I, for one, am already eagerly awaiting book two.
