In a world riven by the Shatterways—fractured realms of Emotion, Flesh, Memory, Will, and Silence—Eirian Erev Thorne is bound by fate and filament to a secret that could unravel the very fabric of reality. Haunted by visions and haunted more deeply by the silence of her past, Eirian's life is pulled taut the day she meets Virelya, a Whisperkeeper whose gaze cuts like glass and whose voice tastes like a storm.

What begins as rivalry and resistance spirals into a bond neither can sever: the Heartthread, a soul-deep connection long forbidden by the Shroudbinders, those who manipulate essence for power. As Eirian is drawn into a clandestine rebellion, her growing intimacy with Virelya unlocks truths veiled in myth—about the ancient Ghostbinding ritual, the vanished Oracle, and her own uncanny power to etch memory into the world.

From the perfumed veils of the Lattice-Court to the blood-soaked altars of the Hollow Face, the two women must navigate political deceit, queered magic, and aching desire. Their story knots together mysticism and myth, trauma and tenderness, in a lyrical tapestry of flesh and whisper.

Their love could fracture worlds. Or reforge them.

Of Flesh and Whisper: The Hollow Tapestry is the first volume in a sensuous and richly symbolic romantasy epic filled with:

LGBTQ+ intimacy and tension woven into a haunting enemies-to-lovers arc

A unique magic system built from filaments, etchmarks, and Heartthreads

Rituals, oracles, forbidden love, and poetic worldbuilding

Symbolic names, glyphs, and mysteries waiting to be unraveled

This is a tale for readers who long for the lyricism of The Starless Sea, the intimacy of Gideon the Ninth, and the metaphysical weight of His Dark Materials—a sensual, queer, and symbol-rich novel where language shimmers and love leaves marks.
