When you're nothing, you have to grab everything you can and hang onto it with everything you've got.

 

When the dreamwealking threadwitch Ravel's been obsessed with since boyhood vanishes, the shadow prince of Refuge's dissolute underground risks all the power he's begged, borrowed, and stolen to chase her down.

But, on that desperate road trip through the monster-infested wilderness, he's forced to peel back his own mask and grapple with the dark truths behind all the glitter.

Will he find the right thread to pull and win back his love, or will the conscience this puppetmaster has been running from all his life finally cut his strings?

Tragic pasts and twisted futures collide in Boy With No Name, a novelette-length dystopian romantic tragedy (lovers-to-enemies-to-...? / antihero romance) for upper YA to NA/Adult audiences. (No spice, off-screen trauma, implied child neglect.)

This story takes place in the Threads of Dreams universe and is suggested as a companion read to book 2, Black the Tides. Also available in Fiction-Atlas Press anti-hero anthology The Devil You Know.
