The Red Thread (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780648369141)

A red silk thread tied around one's wrist by the God of Fate is immovable.

Destiny is immutable.

For Lien of the First House of Silk and Ming Xao, her Emperor, the woven silk thread on their wrists brings them to the very edge of death as they are hunted by the fey for a secret map they hold in their possession.

A new, long-awaited fantasy from award-winning writer, Prue Batten, author of The Chronicles of Eirie.

"Prue Batten is skilled at using language to create visual images, bringing the world of her books alive for the reader. Reading The Red Thread, I imagined an intricate tapestry unfolding. This novel should appeal to fans of Cecilia Dart-Thornton." (Juliet Marillier, author of the Sevenwaters and Blackthorn & Grim series)
