Description:
After the sinister fall of the Circle of Thorns, the Locke Rowe Institute blooms into a sanctuary of creativity and freedom. But when a young student is found with her throat stitched in red thread and a hidden message in her hem, the peace is torn apart.

Now Lily Talbot, Judith Rowe, and a reluctantly reinstated Inspector Flint must follow a trail of crimson and cloth to uncover a secret order more ruthless than anything that came before. Their needles forged obedience, not beauty-and the patterns they follow lead into the shadows of the past.

Dark, atmospheric, and sharply plotted, The Needle's Shadow is a gripping Victorian gothic mystery stitched with betrayal, resilience, and quiet revolution.
