Anna and Ryne must battle against evil forces - and their own hearts - in this high-stakes conclusion to the Thread of Gold series. Season 4 of Thread of Gold *** Annalise Cidarius has a tough decision to make: seize the throne or take a chance at love. Reeling from a devastating battle that saw the defeat of the evil goddess Lucia, Anna returns to Stillwater Castle, where an empty throne awaits her; a throne that both she and her enemy-turned-lover Ryne Delafort intend to sit on. But shortly after Anna returns, it becomes clear that chaos and dissent still rein. Reports surface that Eris Delafort has seized control of the neighbouring kingdom and is massacring towns. Even more disturbingly, there are whispers that Lucia has returned, and the goddess might just be more powerful than ever before... If Anna is to save her kingdom, she must muster her courage and defeat the forces of evil once and for all. For if she fails, she'll lose everything - including her own head. WARNING: This story contains strong language, depictions of violence, and mentions of sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.
