Threads from the Future

Maggie Stiefvater’s The Raven Cycle meets Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name in this story about a girl who must save the boy she loves from a fate that has already happened.

Soon-to-be high school graduate Dante is special. He can rewind time and sense impending rips in the universe, and he uses his powers to help the extra-dimensional creatures (XDs) that fall from these rips before they’re caught by the notorious Bouvard family.

But two months later, Dante is dead.

Mei June mourns him as she braces herself for a summer of working in her family’s shop before heading to college. She should be busy with her father’s impossible standards, a mentally ailing grandmother, and a future to prepare for…

But it’s hard to move on when your dead boyfriend keeps texting you.

With no answers and only a vague understanding of Dante’s duties, Mei June tries to find a way to help the XDs—and maybe save Dante.

Split in two narratives told two months apart, THREADS FROM THE FUTURE is a time-bending story of love, loss, and the dangerous power of hope.
