The Severed Thread [Hardcover]

In this action-packed sequel to the bestselling The Bone Spindle, clever, bookish Fi and her brash, ax-wielding partner Shane are back and badder than ever as they try to save a kingdom.

Which threads of fate will hold—and which will break?

Fi has awakened the sleeping prince, but the battle for Andar is far from over. The Spindle Witch, the Witch Hunters, and Fi’s own Butterfly Curse all stand between them and happily ever after.

Shane has her partner Fi’s back. But she’s in for the fight of her life against Red, the right hand of the Spindle Witch, who she’s also, foolishly, hell-bent on saving.

Briar Rose would do anything to restore his kingdom. But there’s a darkness creeping inside him—a sinister bond to the Spindle Witch he can’t escape.

All hopes of restoring Andar rest on deciphering a mysterious book code, finding the hidden city of the last Witches, and uncovering a secret lost for centuries—one that just might hold the key to the Spindle Witch’s defeat. If they can all survive that long . . .“Both the action and the romance are heart-pounding, but perhaps the most touching aspects are the friendships among the characters: Their world is full of magic, mysteries, and danger, and they support each other through it all with love and compassion.”—Kirkus Reviews
