Bloodlines

Two worlds. Two names. One unraveling destiny.

Sam Wilder thinks he's an ordinary freshman coasting through college in Salem, Massachusetts, haunted only by a B-minus GPA and recurring dreams of a breathtaking, nameless world. But when an unearthly wolf drives him behind a waterfall in New Hampshire's White Mountains, Sam doesn't find death—he finds a gateway.

Plunging through the Veil, he awakens in Vascaryn, a radiant yet dying subterranean realm of blue-fire rivers, crystalline spires, and floating cities. Here, magic isn't an external force but a living symbiote woven into the blood and marrow of every bound soul—its strength varying by family lineage. Separate from raw arcane power, the Weave is a physical vibration coursing through each individual as a unique life-thread, constantly rewoven by choices and the pull of prophecy.

And Sam isn't just a nobody from Salem: he is Silas Caelum, the last Spiralborn heir to a throne shattered by betrayal, one who can not only feel the Weave but rewrite its very strands.

As the parasitic forces of the Hollow creep through fissures between worlds, Silas must forge a fragile alliance of outcasts:

•A cynical shadowblade witch
•An aerial rogue
•A glowing healer
•A manic alchemist cousin
•A lethal violet-eyed tracker

Armed with a staff of Wormwood, born of vision and death, Silas must navigate an underworld of shifting riddles and ancient blood-locks. To save both his mother on Earth and his newfound kin below, the reluctant king must claim his fractured crown, master the unraveling threads of fate, survive the mind-hunting Deathweavers, and face Ethereus the Unwoven—a dark god who feasts on the very fabric of existence.

Dive into the first volume of Threadborne, a molecularly addictive new universe where destiny isn't carved in stone—it's woven in blood.
