THREADBOUND
About
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.
Threadbound 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 Wonderland 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.
Praise for this book
“What a ride! This is an amazing book. It has everything I love in a good fantasy plot—folk and mythology, different creatures (including a dragon!), found family, and so much more.”
“Threadbound is a beautifully written fairy tale with a dreamy atmosphere. Themes of compassion, kindness, and love are woven into a perfectly satisfactory story you won’t want to put down.”
“Perfect for fans of Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and Labyrinth (yes, the David Bowie film). The world felt so real I could see the movie playing in my mind.”
“Okay, so Threadbound felt like stepping into one of those dreamy, slightly haunting fairy tales where the magic is gorgeous but also a little dangerous.”
“Beneath all the magic and myth, there’s strength in how Jasna learns to put herself first in a world that keeps trying to define her.”
“I loved Jasna so much—she’s there for herself, doesn’t let people cross her boundaries, and knows what sacrifices are actually worth taking. A story full of twists and turns and mythologies from multiple cultures.”
