The Red Threads will call, and those with bonds woven brightest will take the helm.

A darkness is growing and a war is on the horizon. An old evil has arisen, lurking in the shadows, and she will stop at nothing to burn Ilphemoura to ashes. An old prophecy foretells of a way to stop the oncoming tide—an ancient sword the color of sunlit skies, rumored to possess incredible magic and the power to defeat gods. Guarded by a great beast and long protected by a mythical forest, five brave souls will travel together to uncover the blade.

Made up of a thief, a weapon’s master, a cartographer, a witch, and a thread reader; the unlikely crew must navigate the depths of the Forbidden Forest. A forest long since lost to memory and thought to be a myth—with strange creatures, unnatural trees, and a darkness that permeates to your very bones.

Pushed to the breaking point and haunted by bloody visions of battles against ruthless creatures and poisoned by a darkness so dense it could swallow her whole, Laira has no choice but to put her faith in the prophecy and hunt for the mystical sword, because doing anything else could leave her mind, and everyone she cares about, nothing but dust.

With an impossible task set before them, there is no room for failure. They must navigate the ancient forest of Daer e’ Mista and find the sword, or it may very well be more than just Laira’s sanity that is lost…

For fans of Vox Machina, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, and Lord of the Rings, this cozy debut fantasy romance will have you swooning over a slow burn romance, a dark and moody forest, chaos & banter, and a found family that’ll make your heart sing.
