The Severed Thread

What if your entire destiny could be stolen in a single moment?

In the kingdom of Aethoria, every person is born with a Thread of Fate-a shimmering strand connecting them to the great Loom, the divine mechanism that predetermines all lives. The Threads bring order. Security. Peace. No one questions them.

Until Lyra Thorne's Thread is severed.

One evening, the farmer's daughter feels something snap inside her mind-and suddenly, her golden future vanishes. No destined marriage. No predetermined path. No certainty of tomorrow. In its place: a terrifying void, and shadow creatures called Loomshades hunting her through the night.

Fleeing her burning cottage, Lyra discovers a world hidden beneath the one she knew. A world of the Unbound-people who exist outside fate's design. A world where a secret faction called the Obsidian Hand harvests Threads for a sinister purpose. And a world where she must confront an impossible truth:

The Loom isn't divine. It's a cage. And someone wants to use Lyra to control it.

With the help of Kael, a cynical mercenary born without a Thread, and Elara, a rogue weaver who defected from the Loom's inner circle, Lyra must master abilities she never knew she possessed. But as she uncovers the dark secrets behind humanity's predetermined existence, she faces an impossible choice:

Destroy the system that enslaves billions-or become the weapon that makes it stronger.

THE SEVERED THREAD is the first book in an epic fantasy trilogy that explores fate, freedom, and the courage to forge your own path when the universe itself has other plans.

Perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn, Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone, and anyone who believes that the best destiny is the one you choose for yourself.
