Threads of Our Undoing
By @mori
In the gilded, high-stakes world of the Neo-Victorian elite, Clara Vance is a master of illusion. Born into poverty but blessed with the unique kinetic ability to manipulate fabrics and threads, she weaves masterpieces that disguise the darkest secrets of the nobility. Yet, her most dangerous design is her own identity. When the ruthless Duke of Sterling, Julian Vance, uncovers her deception, he doesn't expose her—he forces her into a contract marriage to legitimize his claim to the throne. Surrounded by enemies and bound to a man who represents everything she fears, Clara must play the dutiful duchess. But Julian hides a devastating secret of his own, and as their forced proximity ignites a volatile, forbidden passion, the thread holding Clara's lies together begins to unravel. In a court where love is a weakness and trust is a death sentence, Clara must decide if her survival is worth losing her heart.
