Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

Hello everyone,

My name is Mehdi Mejri and I’m a new author stepping into the world of fantasy. I’ve just released my debut novel, The Fives’ Oath, Legacy of the Bloodborn.

It’s the beginning of a saga set in the realm of Ravenhelm—a land torn between legacy, prophecy, and survival. At its heart, though, the story isn’t just about battles or kingdoms, but about people: family, identity, shame, love, and the weight of what we inherit.

I wrote this book because I wanted to explore not only the grandeur of epic fantasy, but also the quiet, fragile moments of being human within it. My hope is that readers will find characters they can feel close to—characters who are strong, broken, conflicted, or searching for their place, just like we all are.

If you enjoy dark, emotional fantasy with flawed heroes and complex relationships, I’d be honored if you gave The Fives’ Oath a chance. And if you do, I’d love to hear your thoughts—it means the world to a new writer.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for letting me share a little piece of Ravenhelm with you.
