The Ties That Bind (Hayes)	comment	The Ties That Bind is a series by Rob J. Hayes which was originally self-published but later re-published by Ragnarok Publications. The first book, The Heresy Within, was released in 2014. The sequel, The Color of Vengeance was released in January of 2015.Jezzet Vel'urn is a trained swordswoman, one who has rightfully earned the title Blademaster but knows there are often two ways of a fight for a woman like her. Sadly, too often it comes down to a combination thereof. In THE HERESY WITHIN Jezzet is chased into the Wild by a vengeful warlord until she finally makes it to the sovereign city-state of Chade. But instead of sanctuary, she finds only more opportunistic bastards waiting to turn her over to her enemies.Also figuring majorly in the story is Thanquil Darkheart, a sorcerer hunter called an Arbiter, tasked with hunting down and purging heretics for the Inquisition. Thanquil is given a task by the God Emperor of Sarth from which he has no escape. Lastly there's the brutal outlaw called the Black Thorn, best known perhaps for the killing of several Arbiters and possibly being one of the biggest names in the Wild for his proclivities. All three of their fates seem to be converging on the Free City of Chade and, before long, Jezzet, Thanquil, and the Black Thorn will have to confront each other as they find themselves facing heresies within.

While said sister was no angel, despite her name, it turns out Constance has a legitimate reason for hating her. She later tries to have sex with Thanquil within minutes of him killing a young boy. Thanquil gets one when he kills a child to cover up the Inquisition's secrets. To be fair, he hates himself for doing it.
