The Hollow Thread

She was never meant to survive, let alone escape.

In a land fractured by war and ruled by power-hungry elites, an unnamed girl is found half-dead in a marketplace, her mind shattered and her body marked by something unnatural. Rescued by rebels, she is taken beyond the Northern Pass, a refuge for those fleeing the grip of the Conclave and the horrors of the one they call Zareth.

But her presence is no accident.

Vaelric, a former Conclave scientist turned tyrant, has spent years perfecting the art of sigils, magic etched into skin. Most of his creations break. She did not. Now, with strange powers awakening inside her and whispers of prophecy trailing in her wake, the question is not who she was...

It's what she was made to be.
