Threaded

In a world where magic means servitude, being giftless is a blessing.

Mariah's twenty-first birthday was supposed to bring freedom: from expectation, from scrutiny, from the oppressive lord reigning over her hometown. When a summons from the Queen puts those dreams at risk, she has no choice but to follow through—even if it means a future she doesn't want or deserve.

Thrust into a world of cutthroat politics, secret rituals, and ruthless power grabs, Mariah is forced to come to terms with her new position as terrifying hidden magic begins to awaken in her veins. Meanwhile, the brooding, disgraced royal heir selected to serve in her sworn guard inexplicably hates her, yet he can't seem to stay away. As the kingdom's delicate balance shifts and crumbles, Mariah's freedom seems further away than ever.

Relationships blossom, schemes are unearthed, and gods are awakened . . . yet her heart may be the biggest threat of all.

Love is a weakness. But will fate weave a different thread?

Contains mature themes.
