Dark, seductive, and utterly addictive - By a Thread is the first book in a pulse-pounding romantasy of forbidden desire, deadly magic, and two souls who were never meant to collide. (Completely re-edited edition, 2026.)
A Soulhunter never loses sight of his prey... In a world where the Trueborn Elite rule with devastating magic and the magicless Halfborn scrape by in the slums, half-bloods like Alex Harper are fair game - hunted, branded, and killed. For most of her life, she's survived by doing one thing flawlessly: staying unseen. Until the day she saves two Trueborn children from a massacre and is accused of murder for her trouble. Exposed and hunted, her only escape leads straight into the path of the realm's most dangerous predator. Darken Forfeit is everything she was taught to avoid: a Trueborn Soulhunter - beautiful, arrogant, merciless - and raised to eliminate threats like her without hesitation. He's the last man she should ever trust. Yet as the chase forces them together and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, Alex finds herself irresistibly drawn to his darkness. She doesn't know that Darken has his own reasons to keep her close - or that her life is already hanging by a silken thread...
