threads: shimmering silver lines connecting every person. When a
new relationship is formed, a new thread appears. When a person's
life-thread is cut, it's their time to die. Io uses her gifts as a
private investigator, trying to make ends meet in a world which
treats other-born people like her with suspicion and prejudice.
Then Io is witness to a murder - but this is no ordinary murder. Io
can see that the killer's life-thread is severed. They should be
long dead. More complicated still, there is another witness: Edei,
a member of the violent Rossi mob who rule Alante. And what Io can
see immediately, although Edei cannot, is that there is a bright
silver fate-thread connecting them. This boy is her destiny. Io and
Edei are thrown together to solve the case, and as Io grapples with
the dark secrets lurking beneath Alante's surface, she must decide
whether to embrace her fate and give in to the feelings growing
between herself and Edei - or whether to cut the thread, and set
him free... Filled with mystery, violent betrayal and powerful,
