Threads of Rust and Ruin
By @Naama 123
In the soot-choked metropolis of Oakhaven, Lady Evelyn Vance is a pariah. Stripped of her noble title and forced into a grueling life of textile labor, she harbors a dangerous secret: she possesses the forbidden 'Aura Weaver' spark, allowing her to physically manipulate the emotional threads of those she touches. When the ruthless, cold-hearted Duke Alistair Sterling - the man who signed her family's execution order - dragoon-recruits her to weave a false tapestry of love between himself and a rival princess, Evelyn plans her ultimate vengeance. She will use her threads to rot his empire from the inside out. But as she weaves herself into Alistair's darkest vulnerabilities, she uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that threatens both their lives. Bound by blood, lies, and a suffocating proximity, Evelyn must navigate a treacherous dance of forced intimacy. To survive, she must decide if her vengeance is worth destroying the one man who might actually understand her shattered soul.
