Following clues through the city’s darkest corners, Io and Edei begin to question the nature of justice and revenge as they uncover a conspiracy that involves the vicious Muses, the mob queen, the prestigious young commissioner who’s in the pocket of the city’s elite, and the commissioner’s fiancé-who is none other than Io’s estranged older sister. To find the culprit, Io must work with none other than Edei, the mob queen’s right hand and the boy with whom Io shares a rare fate-thread, a thread of destined love formed before she ever laid eyes on him. Her latest job leads to a horrific discovery: someone is maiming women’s threads and using the undead women as weapons to deliver justice for a mysterious crime. Io is the youngest of the three sisters and uses her ability to see and sever threads to work as a private investigator in the Silts, the seedy underbelly of Alante that’s ruled by a despotic mob queen. Io and her sisters are descendants of the Fates, who are always born in three: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love. In the half-sunken city of Alante, powerful descendants of Greek gods dwell among the population.
