The Thread is waking. And it remembers their blood.

Cal Voss has always felt wrong—seeing what others can’t, hearing whispers no one else hears. But now the visions are worsening, pulling him deeper into the hunt. He feels the stalk, the blade’s bite, the final shudder of breath—and a sick pleasure that isn’t his. Each time he returns, it’s harder to tell if he’s escaping the killer…or becoming him.

After the latest vision, Cal meets Eva—a stranger drawn to the scene by the same pull, bound to him by both blood and curse. They are hybrids—born of Wardsworn light and Bloodbound darkness, heirs to a power sealed deep in the Thread—an ancient bond Silas Voss, a Bloodbound commander, intends to weaponize for his own dominion.

But Silas isn’t the only one hunting them. Detective Reyes is already closing in, following a pattern no one else sees and closing in on the killer—and the two people she can’t decide are suspects, victims, or something far worse.

To stop the murders, Cal, Eva, and Reyes must follow a trail of bodies and face the the deeper they step into the Thread, the more it rewrites who they are.

And if the Thread completes, Cal and Eva won’t just belong to it—they’ll belong to the killer who claimed it.

A supernatural crime thriller where murder, magic, and family legacy collide—perfect for readers who crave dark fantasy woven through modern suspense.
