Emeline Vellace sees shimmering threads of possibility winding through every choice. She thought everyone could. That she was just bad at using them. That her failures in a world of magical precision—crafted, shaped, fractured—were hers alone.

Until someone finally notices.

When a charming stranger with too many questions enters her life, Emeline thinks she’s being seen. Understood. Maybe even wanted. The pull between them is immediate—and impossible to trust.

But interest is rarely innocent—and not all threads lead where you hope. Some even burn.

The Threadbound Order begins with a tale of quiet power, dangerous longing, and the people we cling to—especially when we know it will ruin us.
