But all that balance unravels the moment a cursed engagement ring lands on her counter—one that hums with forgotten power and latches onto her soul-thread like it’s been waiting for her.Before she can figure out what it wants, a rogue mage named Ronan steps into her life—brash, unpredictable, and connected to her by a half-knot of wild, untested magic neither of them meant to create.Too bad she’s already engaged to Matt, a calm, steady glimmer-mender whose magic resonates with hers in all the right ways… and who doesn’t know she’s suddenly tethered to someone else.Now the threads of Austin’s magical grid are fraying, spell-eating scarabs are crawling out of the cracks, and Alice’s love life is turning into a magical event strong enough to destabilize the city itself.Three hearts. One weave. And a bond that refuses to be untied.Some magic doesn’t want to be chosen—it wants to choose you.If you love magical tension, tangled loyalties, and emotionally rich romantasy with a sharp edge, dive into The Love Knot, Book One of The Glimmer Threads today. less

Austin’s magic is unraveling—and Alice Landers' wedding plans are the first thread to snap. Every time she tries to finish the luminous engagement weave that should bind her to Matt, the final stitch hisses, frays, and falls apart like a broken promise. Stranger still, heartbreak-haunted antiques are flooding her pawn a pendant that cries saltwater, a scarf that breathes with someone else’s grief, a mirror that shows memories that were never hers... moreAustin’s magic is unraveling—and Alice Landers' wedding plans are the first thread to snap. Every time she tries to finish the luminous engagement weave that should bind her to Matt, the final stitch hisses, frays, and falls apart like a broken promise. Stranger still, heartbreak-haunted antiques are flooding her pawn a pendant that cries saltwater, a scarf that breathes with someone else’s grief, a mirror that shows memories that were never hers.All signs point to the long-dormant Second Thread—an experimental bonding spell abandoned decades ago—sparking back to life beneath the city’s taco-truck smoke and street-art murals. To stop it, Alice must team up with Ronan, the charming not-quite-ex whose half-knot still tugs at her heart. Together they’ll brave a forgotten thread-vault, dodge soul-gnawing scarabs, and decide whether closing the Second Thread means finishing it… or cutting it once and for all.Dragons not required—just neon lace, spider-spun blessings, and a love story that refuses to obey the pattern. If you crave the dragon heat of Fourth Wing and the city-sized stakes of Crescent City, dive into The Second Thread and watch Austin’s magic—and Alice’s heart—ignite.Ready to tug on the knot?
