The Scarlet Thread - A Greek...

D.S. Murphy

My name is Kaidance Monroe, and when I touch someone, I see how they die. Ever since failing to prevent my brother's death, I've been exiled by my parents to the cold embrace of a juvenile detention center, my life a sequence of isolation and regret, vowing never to touch another soul again.
But as my eighteenth birthday looms, everything changes. A stranger breaks through the fortress I've built around myself, bringing with him danger and a magnetic allure I'm powerless to resist. He doesn't recoil at my curse; instead, he reveals a chilling truth: I'm not a freak; I'm a target.
Suddenly, I'm on the run, plunged headfirst into a hidden realm where ancient myths pulse to life and shadows stalk with intent, I discover that my cursed touch is a weapon sought by unseen enemies. My sanctuary? A hidden mansion, nestled among the whispers of forgotten gods and mythical creatures, where I hone my abilities preparing for a war that edges closer each day. Within these walls, my heart tangles in the most perilous game of all. I didn't mean to make anyone fall for me.Certainly not my would-be killer.And I never imagined how far he would fall.
Caught between the celestial fire of Puriel and the earthly ferocity of Sitri, my affections are torn. As secrets
unfold and alliances shift, I must face the truth: in this game of gods and monsters, love is the deadliest weapon, and choosing sides could cost more than just my heart.
"The Scarlet Thread" is a tale for those who revel in the dark allure of Greek myths and Gothic romance, a saga of love, betrayal, and the power of a destiny that could either save or doom us all. This is just the beginning—dive into the Fated Destruction series, where every choice could be your last.
