Centuries into a sentence with no end, Kasim finally meets someone who is not afraid of the dark. A prisoner who laughs at his own punishment, who has been planning something impossible for longer than empires live, and who has already decided that Kasim is the missing piece. He calls himself Sisyphus. He is charming, patient, and almost certainly lying about something. Kasim just cannot tell which part yet. Together they are close to the one thing no one escapes: a single heartbeat when the prison's every law goes still. It will take everything Kasim has left to buy that heartbeat, and everyone still breathing beside him to spend it. There is a rule the dark never told him. He cannot want the thing he is reaching for. Want it, and the reach fails. What waits on the other side is not the world he lost. It is not even the same age. But four threads he thought were cut forever are still out there, waiting to be found, if the man who pulls them can survive what it costs to become someone capable of pulling anything at all. The Liar's Thread is the third volume of The Thread That Would Not Break, where the truth about fate itself finally surfaces, and the price of one impossible escape turns out to be the easiest debt in the whole series to misunderstand.
