Stitch My Sins

In Virelle, magic earns the gallows—until a witch’s needle saves the wrong life.

Now the crown prince demands she stitch his wounds… and hide his sins.

Nyra Vellin survives by keeping her head down and her bloodthread hidden. But when she uses forbidden magic to save a dying street boy, royal guards drag her to Castle Dravyn and bind her to a punishment worse than death: serve as Royal Tailor to Crown Prince Elian Dorne—beautiful, scar-mapped, and cursed.

Elian doesn’t want salvation. He wants control. Under the twisted Sinbound Oath, Nyra’s thread obeys royal blood, turning her into a vessel and him into the wielder. With every stitch, their bond tightens—pulse to pulse, pain to pain—until Nyra can’t tell where her fear ends and his darkness begins.

Then the palace starts unraveling. A foreign realm demands Nyra as a weapon. Someone inside the court plants poisoned thread in her sanctum. And the more secrets she’s forced to sew into flesh, the more she realizes her mother—executed as the last threadwitch—left behind a path to the only needle that can undo a curse bound to blood.

To break Elian’s curse, Nyra must defy the crown that owns her, outmaneuver a court built on silences, and decide what she’s willing to stitch into her own skin—before the veil thins and the kingdom’s buried sins come crawling back.
