Threads That Bind

“Dripping with atmosphere and edged with danger, Threads That Bind weaves together a gorgeous dark tapestry of mystery, fated romance, and modern myth. You won’t be able to put this one down.”—Alexandra Bracken, New York Times bestselling author of Lore

In a world where the children of the gods inherit their powers, a descendant of the Greek Fates must solve a series of impossible murders to save her sisters, her soulmate, and her city, for fans of Song of Achilles.

Descendants of the Fates are always born in threes: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love and to life itself. The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante.

But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill. To find the culprit, she must work alongside Edei Rhuna, the right hand of the infamous Mob Queen—and the boy with whom she shares a rare fate-thread linking them as soul mates before they’ve even met.

The investigation turns personal when Io's estranged oldest sister shows up on the arm of her best suspect. Amid unveiled secrets from her past and her growing feelings for Edei, Io must follow clues through the city’s darkest corners and unearth a conspiracy that involves some of the city’s most powerful players before destruction comes to her own doorstep.

Reseñas de la Crítica

★ “Sizzling romance and action-packed sequences set against an intriguing plot plagued by political corruption and conspiracy build to a dynamic pace. [A] richly detailed adventure.” —Publisher's Weekly, starred review

★ “With vivid and compelling writing, the narrative immerses readers in a unique world on the edge of ruin and an achingly slow romance. Hand to fans of Leigh Bardugo’s “Grishaverse” who are looking for a cutthroat and magical criminal underworld. With a unique world and layered mystery, readers will love this book.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“Highly original worldbuilding…[and] plenty to engage fantasy fans, leaving them eager for the next installment. Classical mythology, police procedural, and romance combine in this imaginative, intriguing post-apocalyptic story.” —Kirkus Reviews

New favorite series added to my list

Loved the narration and the pace of this book so interesting and always kept me guessing can’t wait for the rest of this series it’s defiantly a new favorite!

Incredible narration!

This narrator is so talented! The voices she used for each character are so distinct, sometimes I could swear it was a new narrator. She is able to speak with such emotion that she makes each character feel real and vivid.

Story line kept you engaged

There was nothing to dislike, the story was descriptive and exciting the entire time can’t wait to listen to the sequel.

Unexpected

The story was unique and exciting. Lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Amazing Story, the Narration!!

Okay, I don’t think I have ever heard a narrator like this. I could have sworn every new voice was a new person. The narrator is THAT talented. All of the voice work was incredible, believable, and compelling. The story of Io is very creative and unlike anything I have ever read. I love retellings and twists of fairytales and mythologies, but this one is unlike any I have read. She is a protagonist that grows in character throughout the story. Nothing is black or white. Everything about the community is a shade of grey. Fantasy, romance, rivalry, duty, it’s all here.

held me to the end

I'm excited for the next book. many twists in the book I really enjoyed, some I could see coming at a certain point and some I couldn't. but by the end I was hanging on to every word. the narrator did a fantastic job, probably one of my favorites

Great Story and Narration

I don't usually read fantasy but a friend recommended this and it was excellent. The dystopian world that the author creates has parallels to our own. The story is a satisfying mix of mystery, suspense and romance with surprising plot twists and turns. The narration was excellent. I think this is categorized as young adult, but I'm way older than that and loved it.

Great All Around

I really loved the story and the Narrator did a great job telling the story.

WOW!

I enjoyed reading this book so much that I devoured it. There are so many amazing parts that weave together to make this book a nonstop page turner. I mean… come on! The plot, the character development, the twists, the mythology, the adventure… so good!!
