Summary
The gods tie a thread around your smallest finger before you are born. That thread is red, the color of blood, of passion, of the cord that binds a child to its mother. Its other end is tied to your soulmate—somewhere in the world, someone whose thread is knotted to yours. You cannot see it. You cannot feel it. Only when your soulmate speaks your true name for the first time, the string vibrates like a plucked harp string, and the sound it makes is the sound of your own heartbeat, heard from outside your body for the first time.
But in the eyes of the Church, a string tied by pagan gods is no string at all. It is a temptation. A pretty lie whispered by the devil to lead good vulnerable boys into the dark.
In the dark, it holds the only place two boys can love.
