Threaded By Night (The Reawakened Trilogy)

Some prayers should go unanswered.

King Syntric prayed for a goddess who had not been seen in five hundred years, and she answered. Nythys remembers almost nothing. Not who imprisoned her in stone, not why her people forgot her, not what she surrendered to become divine. What she knows is the taste of Syntric's blood, and that it makes her stronger.

Syntric was raised to be a servant of his people. Kindness is the only thing he has ever been certain of. But his kingdom is starving, his court does not respect him, and a war he cannot win is closing in from the north. A good man, he is learning, does not make a good king.

Kings are not meant to be ethical. They are meant to be powerful.

Bound by a pact neither of them fully understands, the goddess and the king fall into something neither will name, while the people closest to Syntric keep the truth of what he is for.

Threaded By Night is Book One of the Reawakened Trilogy, a dark fantasy about devotion, memory, and being loved by the people who intend to use you.
