Hearts That Cut (Threads That Bind Book 2)

In the thrilling sequel to Threads That Bind, Io faces even greater dangers and powerful new forces as she struggles to understand the meaning of destiny and choice.

Five weeks after leaving Alante to follow the mysterious golden thread, Io is still searching for the god at the other end. Exhausted by relentless travel and troubled by the weakening bond she shares with Edei, Io soon discovers that her only lead has vanished—cutting the golden thread and leaving her with only a few crucial clues.

Her search leads her into a new mystery: a series of sibling disappearances across the Wastelands connected to the murders in Alante. All evidence points toward Nanzy, the gleaming golden city, as the heart of a centuries-old conspiracy.

As Io and Bianca journey toward Nanzy, they encounter powerful enemies, unexpected allies, and terrifying revelations that challenge everything they know about the gods, fate, and free will. The deeper Io digs, the more she realizes that the fate of the world may rest in her hands—but she must decide whether to follow the path laid out for her or forge her own destiny.
