The Threadbinder's Oath
The Great Loom has fallen silent. For Sable Wren, that silence is the sound of her world collapsing. For three years, the towering ashwood frame at the heart of the Weavers' Spire has hummed through her molars, binding Queen Lysara's kingdom into coherence. Now the mechanism is rigid, the shuttles still, and the threads that hold court, commons, and crown together are beginning to fray. Apprentice threadbinders whisper of curses. The Hollow Court's enforcers move in the shadows. And when Sable discovers the unraveling is no accident, she is forced to flee the only home she has ever known with her mentor Maren at her side. Pursued across a kingdom that no longer holds its seams, Sable is drawn toward the one secret the Weavers' Guild buried long ago: the Threadbinder's Oath. Speaking it could restore the Loom and her world. Speaking it could also cost her everything she is. Torn between the exiled noble Cael Dunmore, the brutal Thorne, the enigmatic Drusa, and the whispered counsel of Vethis, Sable must decide what she is willing to bind, and what she is willing to sever, before the final thread snaps.
