In the city of Glassmere, where reality is woven from invisible Threads and guarded by the fearsome Wardens of the Loom, survival often costs more than gold. For Kairos Veylan, a quick-witted rogue, the price was his own shadow — sold to the ruthless Lady Surn to escape execution.When Kairos stumbles across a Loom Thread, a forbidden fragment capable of rewriting reality, he’s thrust into a dangerous web of political intrigue, ancient prophecy, and magical law. Pursued by Wardens, manipulated by Lady Surn, and reluctantly allied with the exiled weaver Arielle Kest, Kairos must navigate betrayals on all sides.As his latent ability as a Threadwalker awakens, Kairos learns that every use of magic leaves permanent scars on the world — and that his shadow holds a piece of the Loom itself. To survive, he must choose between restoring what he’s lost, protecting the weave of reality, or breaking it entirely.Witty, morally grey, and dangerously unpredictable, Kairos isn’t a hero — but in a city where the wrong cut can unravel the world, he might be the only one willing to take the risk.
