Break the Thread

A girl with no destiny is the one thing a city built on fate can’t survive.

Selene Valcoran is Threadless—unmarked, unwoven, and hunted by the Oracles who control Nareth’s shimmering threads of prophecy. She lives in alleys and shadows, cutting her way past guards and lies… until a bleeding stranger collapses into her refuge.

Tarin Elarion is a fallen prince with a fraying thread and a death sentence written into the loom. Worse—his thread reacts to Selene’s touch, as if fate recognizes the one person it was never meant to.

Now the Nightwatch closes in, the Undercity whispers of rebels who sever destiny, and every step Selene takes makes the city’s sacred weave tremble. To keep Tarin alive—and to keep herself from being erased—Selene must descend into forbidden tunnels, bargain with the forgotten, and decide what she’s willing to cut: a tyrant’s prophecy… or the dangerous, burning bond forming between them.

In a world where threads decide who you love, who you serve, and how you die, freedom has a price—and Selene is the blade.
