Threads of the Beast
In a city built on the bones of monsters, survival is a deadly stitch.

In a city powered by the harvested flesh of chained monsters, isolation is the only armor. But some secrets refuse to stay buried.Lyra Lighthaven has survived the plague pits and the brutal ecclesiastical machine of Veyruhn by perfecting the art of invisibility. As a master funeral embroiderer in the subterranean cathedral ward, she sews mourning veils for the city's elite, never asking where the holy beast-oil in her lamps comes from, and never looking twice at the calcified bone architecture that encloses her world.Her fragile, meticulously constructed sanctuary shatters the night Lord Gared Greymantle forces a terrifying commission upon her: the clandestine restoration of an ancient, aristocratic wedding shroud. The fabric is unnaturally warm. The dark, sprawling embroidery is woven entirely from fine, living human hair. And the moment Lyra pierces the cursed silk with her needle, she awakens a devastating phantom resonance—and a horrific vision of a vanished bride.Threads of the Beast pulls listeners into a breathtaking nightmare of dark fantasy and gothic horror. As the hereditary magic of the shroud demands a new sacrifice, Lyra realizes that a young commoner girl has been abducted to wear it. Caught between the ruthless ambition of an untouchable patriarch and the agonizing cries of the chained beasts that power the city, Lyra can no longer simply look away.Step into the macabre, breathtaking world of The Cathedral Bestiary. Survival will require more than a steady hand—it will demand an absolute, bloody rebellion.
