The ley lines of Chimera Cross are collapsing, and the city’s fragile balance is bleeding out with them.

Roma Namari’s power is evolving faster than she can control—her empathy now commands the Weave itself, drawing every fracture, every ghost of magic, straight to her skin. Rhydan Thorne, the cursed Vampire King, should be the one person strong enough to anchor her… but their bond is becoming something volatile. Something the city may not survive.

While Roma wrestles with what she’s becoming, Helena leads a rebellion of exiled Valkyrie, Artemia races to stop the Crucible from stirring, and the Houses turn their blades toward each other. The Hollowborn are rising again—and this time, the silence isn’t coming from below.

As prophecy and rebellion collide, Roma and Rhydan must face the truth written in both curse and thread:
the Weave can’t be healed without blood.

And some loves were never meant to survive the cost.
