Synopsis

My name is Kaidance Monroe, and when I touch someone, I see how they die. Ever since failing to prevent my brother's death, I've been exiled by my parents to the cold embrace of a juvenile detention center, my life a sequence of isolation and regret, vowing never to touch another soul again.But as my eighteenth birthday looms, everything changes. A stranger breaks through the fortress I've built around myself, bringing with him danger and a magnetic allure I'm powerless to resist. He doesn't recoil at my curse; instead, he reveals a chilling truth: I'm not a freak; I'm a target.Suddenly, I'm on the run, plunged headfirst into a hidden realm where ancient myths pulse to life and shadows stalk with intent, I discover that my cursed touch is a weapon sought by unseen enemies. My sanctuary? A hidden mansion, nestled among the whispers of forgotten gods and mythical creatures, where I hone my abilities preparing for a war that edges closer each day. Within these walls, my heart tangles in the most perilous game of all. I didn't mean to make anyone fall for me.Certainly not my would-be killer.And I never imagined how far he would fall.Caught between the celestial fire of Puriel and the earthly ferocity of Sitri, my affections are torn. As secrets unfold and alliances shift, I must face the truth: in this game of gods and monsters, love is the deadliest weapon, and choosing sides could cost more than just my heart."The Scarlet Thread" is a tale for those who revel in the dark allure of Greek myths and Gothic romance, a saga of love, betrayal, and the power of a destiny that could either save or doom us all. This is just the beginning—dive into the Fated Destruction series, where every choice could be your last.

2 stars This is my fifth book by Francine Rivers and I really loved the other books of hers I’ve read. This one… not so much. I get what she was trying to do with this story, I really do. But it was so terribly executed. I am fully for forgiveness and for admitting when you were wrong etc. But the h......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on January 29, 2018

I had high hopes for this book due to having enjoyed The Atonement Child and And the Shofar Blew, however, I was disappointed. There are two stories which are meant to be running parallel and presumably woven together. But, they don't actually fit with each other and could easily be extracted from t......more

I just read this book for the second time - I think it's a good portrayal of what can happen in a marriage when both parties are selfish. However, there's got to be some way that people can talk about finding God in their lives without being completely cliche. It's frustrating to be reading along an......more

Of course Francine Rivers can make me cry. Despite not loving the past storyline, I thought this was a well-crafted story on marriage, forgiveness, and reconciliation. The way God worked in this woman's life was beautiful and it brought me to tears. Not my favourite Francine Rivers book for sure, but......more

Goodreads review by Veronica on May 16, 2019

I enjoyed some elements, and I understand the religious tone and idea of forgiveness, but went too far! Sierra was harsh at times, but I felt her reaction was quite valid as her husband made a life changing decision and told her after! His behaviour when her mother died, and his affair and disgustin......more
