She can hear the hidden threads inside colors, promises, and names. But the promise she makes to protect a dragon may become another kind of cage.
Seven years after her mother vanished into a road no map remembers, sixteen-year-old Samber has learned to hide her strange gift. Colors sing to her. Promises leave echoes. Beneath the streets of Wrenfell, something ancient has been asking a question she is afraid to answer.
Then the sky tears open above the crowded Dye Fair, and a dragon egg falls through.
To keep the egg from the Iron Crown, Samber makes a desperate oath. She will protect the creature inside-whatever the cost.
But when the dragon hatches, he refuses every name others try to give him. He chooses his own: Ashwing.
Together, Samber and Ashwing enter a world of living maps, roads woven through the sky, forests that demand truth, mirrors filled with forgotten lives, enormous whales swimming through clouds, and old songs that remember the history the Crown tried to erase.
They soon discover that the first oath between a human and a dragon was never meant to create ownership. It was meant to preserve choice. Now an ancient power is awakening, determined to reduce every person to a role, every road to one approved direction, and every living name to something that can be controlled.
As danger closes around them, Samber's fear of losing Ashwing begins to change the promise between them. To save him-and the worlds connected by the hidden roads-she must confront a painful question:
Is love proven by holding on, or by leaving someone free to choose whether they stay?
The Star Thread Oath is the first book in the Threads & Vows series, an immersive young adult fantasy filled with dragons, magical roads, found family, mystery, humor, breathtaking wonder, and a friendship powerful enough to challenge the meaning of destiny itself.
