Threads of the Frost

About this book

In an 18th-century mountain kingdom where society is rigidly divided by birth and trade, Nimae Tenzil, a young noblewoman, is destined for an arranged, loveless marriage to secure her family's political standing. Her quiet life of obedience shifts when she visits the artisan district to commission her bridal garments and meets Kaviq Silaq, a humble but fiercely talented master weaver. Drawn to his passion and quiet strength, Nimae begins a clandestine correspondence with him, exchanging messages encoded in the patterns of woven scraps. As winter tightens its grip on the kingdom, their secret connection blossoms into a profound romance. Nimae must find the courage to reject the life chosen for her, while Kaviq risks everything to stand by her side. Together, they navigate societal pressures, family duty, and the harsh elements of their world, forging a path defined by unyielding commitment, personal growth, and an enduring hope for a life woven on their own terms.
