In the shadowed alleys of Greymantle, where thieves make their own rules and danger lurks around every corner, a boy known only as Crow survives by his wits-and by keeping secrets close. When an unexpected encounter changes everything, Crow is drawn into a world he never knew existed: one of ancient power, hidden marks, and bonds deeper than blood.
Pulled between the harsh life he's always known and a future written in magic, Crow must learn what it truly means to belong-and what it costs to be chosen.
In a city where loyalty is as fleeting as smoke, and power hides in plain sight, Crow's journey is only just beginning.

Threads Of Fate
She was never meant to be his wife. She was meant to be his revenge. When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence. To her family, the union is protection.

The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes. Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.
