THE DARK HAS COME ALIVE . . . Six years ago, vicious creatures began to crawl out of the dark crevices of the world, and with it Sascia's fascination with the darkness was born. Now that fascination has become an obsession, and while exploring an area known for its connection to the Darkworld, Sascia - impossibly - pulls out a person from the shadows. But Nugau is no ordinary person, they're the heir to the Darkworld, with one mission . . . to kill Sascia. Except, the second time they meet, Nugau is younger and doesn't recognise Sascia. And the third time, Nugau stumbles out of the darkness with poison running through their veins, expressing their undying love for her. Piecing together the puzzle, Sascia makes two shocking discoveries: the timelines of her world and Nugau's are not linear, and she is inexplicably entangled in a war between humanity and the Dark. But with their worlds at battle, is it worth fighting for each other . . . ?

A görög Sorsistennők leszármazottai hármasával születnek: egy, aki szövi, egy, aki gombolyítja, és egy, aki elvágja a szálainkat. A szálakat, melyek összekötik az embereket az élettel és a dolgokkal, amiket szeretnek. Ez alól az Ora nővérek sem kivételek. Io, a legfiatalabb, magánnyomozóként kamatoztatja a Sorstól örökölt képességeit a félig elsüllyedt Alante városában. Legújabb megbízatása azonban szörnyű felfedezéshez vezet: valaki nőket rabol el, megcsonkítja az életfonalaikat, és az így létrehozott lidérceket szabadon engedi a városban gyilkolni. Hogy megtalálja a tettest, Iónak együtt kell dolgoznia Edei Rhunával, a hírhedt söpredékkirálynő jobbkezével - ráadásul ő Io lelki társa, akivel különleges sorsfonal köti össze. A nyomozás személyessé válik, amikor Io elhidegült legidősebb nővére felbukkan a legfőbb gyanúsított karján. A múltja titkai és az Edei iránti egyre erősödő érzései közepette Io a város legsötétebb zugaiba követi a nyomokat, mígnem a végzete őt is eléri. TikTok-szenzáció, egyre növekvő rajongótáborral. NEM gyermekeknek szóló tartalom!

In the city of Alante, the descendants of the Greek gods live alongside mortals. Io is the youngest of three sisters, descended from the Fates. She can see threads: shimmering silver lines connecting every person. When a new relationship is formed, a new thread appears. When a person's life-thread is cut, it's their time to die. Io uses her gifts as a private investigator, trying to make ends meet in a world which treats other-born people like her with suspicion and prejudice. Then Io is witness to a murder - but this is no ordinary murder. Io can see that the killer's life-thread is severed. They should be long dead. More complicated still, there is another witness: Edei, a member of the violent Rossi mob who rule Alante. And what Io can see immediately, although Edei cannot, is that there is a bright silver fate-thread connecting them. This boy is her destiny. Io and Edei are thrown together to solve the case, and as Io grapples with the dark secrets lurking beneath Alante's surface, she must decide whether to embrace her fate and give in to the feelings growing between herself and Edei - or whether to cut the thread, and set him free... Filled with mystery, violent betrayal and powerful, simmering romance, and inspired by Greek mythology, Kika Hatzopoulou's electrifying, genre-defying debut is perfect for fans of Alexandra Bracken's Lore, Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows and Chloe Gong's These Violent Delights.
