Don’t walk alone. Don’t invite them in, but most all—don’t bleed.

Nearly two years after surviving the MillU Murders—a brutal killing spree that claimed her best friend’s life—Manny is trying to move on. After taking an academic leave to heal, she’s back at Millfield University, hoping to rebuild her life. But when another student is found dead in the same horrific fashion of the murders that once terrorized the campus, rumors of the killer’s return begin to spread, and Manny is forced to confront the chilling reality: the nightmare isn’t over. It’s just begun.

With the administration determined to turn a blind eye, Manny launches her own investigation, only to discover something far darker than she could have ever imagined. It’s not a serial killer on the loose—it’s something centuries old and powerful that dates back to the university’s founding—a malevolent entity preying on students, growing stronger every time it feeds.

But why now? Who awakened it? And can it be stopped before more lives are lost?

As the body count rises, Manny realizes that no one is safe—and everyone is a suspect. In this game of life and death, the only thing more dangerous than the curse’s unpredictability is the otherworldly forces—witches, vampires, and possibly werewolves—gathering because of it. With the line between myth and reality blurring, Manny knows if she doesn’t act fast, she and her friends could be next—because the curse is hungry, and everyone is on the menu.

For fans of Ninth House and Scream—Threads of Fate is a dark academia fantasy where the truth is more terrifying than any myth in a town with a history that refuses to be forgotten.
