The Celestial Thread: The Sundering book cover — a hooded figure with a sword beneath a starry sky

Book One

The Celestial ThreadThe Sundering

The Sap is calling. Will you answer?

Three hundred and twelve turnings after the Sundering, the world still carries the scar of a mercy that came too soon. When a strange strand appears in the sky, Elira, Kieran, and Myla set out from Elarion — through fog that remembers and creatures of mist and shadow. What begins as a journey becomes a war between Ember and Mist, and the truths they uncover along the way will cost them more than any battle.
