The Girl Who Cheated the Wind
About
Threadbound is now The Girl Who Cheated the Wind!
When a powerful vizier curses Jasna, a red thread draws her toward his palace while death follows close behind. Her soul, bound to stone, begins to splinter until a desperate spell casts her into Syanka, a realm shaped by old stories.
To reclaim what was stolen and rescue Iliya, once her betrothed who begged the vizier for her soul, and is now a pawn in something darker, Jasna must face beasts and strike bargains with treacherous allies. But the thread is tightening, and if she cannot reach the vizier’s palace before it snaps, it will unravel the last threads of her soul.
The Girl Who Cheated the Wind weaves dark magic, Slavic folklore, and Ottoman-inspired intrigue into a tale where wonder walks hand in hand with danger. For readers who grew up on Narnia and Alice in Wonderlandand and wondered what would happen if the magic turned dark.
Perfect for fans of Spinning Silver, The Bear and the Nightingale, and the dreamlike peril of Labyrinth.
