THE THREAD OF SHADOWS
THE THREAD OF SHADOWS
“Sienna Cross is no ordinary private investigator. Gifted-or cursed-with the ability to see the invisible threads that bind people to their actions, she uncovers truths most would rather keep buried. But her ability is also a burden, keeping her isolated from others, haunted by memories of a past she can't fully remember. When a strange old woman comes to her with a desperate plea to find her missing daughter, Sienna is thrust into a mystery far darker than she could have ever imagined. The search leads her to an abandoned mansion on the edge of town, long whispered to be cursed, where the air is thick with unseen forces and shadows seem to crawl along the walls. There, Sienna uncovers a journal filled with disturbing entries about a secret occult society, a forbidden ritual, and an ancient power known only as "the Thread of Shadows." But the journal ends abruptly, and Sienna soon realizes she's not the only one hunting for the truth. A man named Lucien, shrouded in secrets of his own, warns her to turn back. But it's too late-something has already been awakened inside Sienna. Her powers begin to change, her visions warping into horrifying glimpses of the future, and a sinister force starts to invade her mind. Soon, she discovers the terrifying truth: the Thread of Shadows is a sentient entity, a force of unimaginable power, and it has chosen Sienna as its next host. As her grip on reality starts to unravel, Sienna is drawn deeper into the web of conspiracy surrounding the cult responsible for unleashing this ancient evil. She uncovers the truth about her own family's involvement with the Thread, the true nature of her abilities, and a betrayal that has been waiting in the dark for years. With time running out and the Thread's control growing stronger, Sienna must confront the terrifying prospect that her powers aren't her own-they come from the very darkness she's fighting to destroy. Lucien, who knows more about the Thread than he lets on, becomes both an ally and a threat. Trusting him might save her, but it could also lead her into the hands of the very forces she's trying to escape. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the game becomes. The Thread isn't just an ancient force; it's alive, and it's hunting. And the more Sienna learns, the more she realizes that the only way to stop it is to confront her own shadow, face the darkness within, and sever the bond that ties her to this malevolent entity-before it consumes her completely. In *"The Thread of Shadows,"* every secret leads to another, every step forward unravels a darker truth, and every thread that Sienna pulls on brings her closer to losing herself. As reality bends and twists, and her own identity becomes a battleground, Sienna must decide how far she's willing to go to save herself, and whether the darkness she's fighting is truly external-or something buried deep inside her all along. Gripping, atmospheric, and filled with shocking twists, "The Thread of Shadows"is a supernatural thriller that will pull readers into a world where nothing is as it seems, and the line between light and dark, truth and madness, is always shifting. For Sienna, unraveling the mystery might be the only way to stop the nightmare-but it might also destroy her in the process.”
