She's been hearing his voice in dreams for years. He's been waiting for something he couldn't name his whole life.
Neither of them was prepared for what was coming.
Aery Vane is a servant on the run-white-haired and prophecy-touched, wanted dead by the lord whose son she killed in self-defense. The knight who finds her in the Thornwood is supposed to be twenty miles east of where he is. He stays anyway. He doesn't entirely know why.
Prophecy calls her the Seer. It calls him the Guardian. It says a god's prison is crumbling, that six chosen heroes are the world's only chance, and that the last Seer who stopped him never named what it cost her.
What it doesn't account for is the part where she already knows him, and he'd stay even if none of the rest of it were true.
Of Light and Shadow is the first book in the Threadbound series, a character-driven fantasy romance about chosen ones who didn't ask to be chosen, the family you find when everything else is gone, and beauty worth fighting for, even in darkness.
