Inspired by Chinese myths of ancient dragon gods and threads of fate Katrina Kwan’s dazzling
fantasy debut is a propulsive adventure perfect for fans of Sue Lynn Tan and Hannah Whitten.
At the spry young age of twenty-five Sai has led a quiet life keeping the family teahouse up
and running—even if that means ignoring the past-due notices—and taking care of his ailing
mother. But he has a not-so-secret gift that he’s parlayed into a side career: he was born with
the ability to see the red threads of fate between soulmates which lends itself nicely to
matchmaking. Sai has thus far been content not to follow his own thread the only one he’s ever
seen that’s gray and fraying. But Sai’s ordinary existence is about to be turned upside-down
by a pair of shining dragon scales. When his mother’s doctor sells them to him claiming them
as a miracle cure Sai is pretty sure he’s being scammed. When the medicine actually works —and
the terrifying ruthless emperor catches wind—Sai is thrust into the search for a dragon long
thought extinct that will lead him into the throes of a brewing war and deep into foreign lands
facing down challenges both magical and mortal on an unexpected adventure. And for the very
first time as his own thread of fate begins to move he may be able to solve the mystery of
his Fated One at the other end of the line.
