The Loom has fractured. Fate is no longer certain.
In the city of Velmire, every life is bound by the Loom-an ancient system that weaves fate-marks into the skin of every citizen, dictating their destiny from birth. To defy fate is unthinkable, and to break a fate-mark is to challenge the natural order itself.
But when investigator Isolde Caelum is called to a murder scene in the Midnight District, she finds something impossible-a nobleman lying dead, his fate-mark shattered like glass, yet his body untouched by natural causes. Fate-marks don't break. And yet, this is the third death of its kind in a single month.
As she digs deeper, Isolde is led to whispers of a name long thought erased from history-Elias Thorne, the man known as the Glassweaver. A decade ago, he was executed for the greatest crime imaginable-breaking his own fate-mark and defying the Loom's will. The Fatebound Order burned his records, ensuring he would never be remembered.
And yet, his mark lingers in the evidence before her.
When the Order tries to silence her investigation, Isolde is forced to seek out the truth in the one place no enforcer dares tread-the Midnight District, where fate's outcasts carve out their existence in the city's forgotten shadows. But the deeper she delves, the more she realizes that fate isn't as unbreakable as the Order would have people believe.
Someone is rewriting destiny itself.
And if the Loom unravels, the entire city may fall into chaos.
The only one who might hold the answers is the man who should not exist.
But some threads were never meant to be pulled.
And if Isolde keeps tugging, she may not have a fate left to follow.
