DEATH IS ONLY THE AWAKENING. In the Second World, the afterlife is a fractured battlefield where your deepest traumas forge your greatest powers. Survival is tethered to "threads"-glowing physical manifestations of the soul that bind you to the people you love and the warring nations you serve. When a fanatic cult known as the Messengers orchestrates a brutal death game to harvest eternal youth, the fragile borders between the great Domains shatter. Thrust into the center of the chaos is a tragic, unlikely trio: Esperanza, a selfless Healer who sacrifices her memories with every life she saves; Theo, the stoic samurai heir to the Red Domain; and Aurora, the fierce, saber-summoning Champion of the Unborn. To stop a cycle of stolen youth and bloodshed, these three must unite the warring samurai, shinobi, and healers to forge a fragile peace. Red Thread is a visceral exploration of what it means to bleed for your chosen family. In a world where beauty is fleeting but loyalty is absolute, which thread will you follow?
