Treacherous Tapestry

The Threaded Veil survived a killer, but Lila Hemlock is irrevocably marked. She bears the permanent scar of the shadow magic she used and now carries a new, unpredictable power: the ability to sew magic itself.The political firestorm reignites when General Corvus Valerius, the military head who was presumed missing, makes a shocking, hostile return. Valerius has planted The Treacherous Tapestry—a massive, magically compromised surveillance network in the Council Chambers—and is poised to seize the Foundational Laws of the Fae Court.To expose the General's true, compromised form, Lila must work in agonizing secrecy with her lover, Lord Cassian Shadowbrook, and her mentor, Merrick. While Cassian is forced to take a public, hard stance against the very forces that might help Lila, the investigation demands her ultimate sacrifice: to use her new, dark magic in a dazzling public show. But the cost is her forensic gift.With the fate of the Fae laws hanging on a single stitch, Lila must choose between her soul and her skill. She must risk losing the power that defines her to ensure the one man who can expose the treachery—Merrick—has the split-second distraction he needs to save the Fae Court from its most sophisticated betrayal yet.
