The Heart of Hornwood (Threadbound, #1)

Darkness is your ally.

Eloise has spent her entire meaningless existence in the small town of Jyra under the Empire’s rule, reading the same old books, working the same job, and concealing her powerful magic from the town elders who wouldn’t hesitate to exile, enslave, or execute her if they ever learned the truth of what she was: a weaver capable of manipulating the threads that bind the world together.

But when Eloise receives a mysterious letter revealing her inheritance of an old mansion, she leaps at the opportunity to escape her boring life and leave Jyra behind.

However, within the mansion's shadow lurks an old curse binding souls to its ancient halls. It’s there that she meets the mansion’s occupants, and the most unlikely visitor, an Eldorian Lord named Tristan, charged with a single task: hunting and imprisoning weavers.

As Eloise and Tristan’s paths become entangled, she must choose to embrace her weaver blood or continue concealing her own identity. Now, she and her companions must tread through a world of dark secrets, blood magic, and ancient creatures as they search for a way to break the curse. Will they succeed, or will Hornwood Mansion claim their souls?
