Thread the Bone: A Mythic Fantasy of Love, Gods, and Time Loops

Some stories are written once.
Others are lived a thousand times.

Thread the Bone is a mythic fantasy romance about gods, grief, and a love that refuses to be forgotten—even when time itself tries to erase it.

At its heart, this is a story about creation and destruction, fate and free will, and what happens when a god’s love goes too far.


A Story Born from Myth

Inspired by epic mythology and nonlinear storytelling, Thread the Bone can be described as Clash of the Titans meets Cloud Atlas—a sweeping fantasy where gods and demigods shape the world, and mortal lives echo across time.

When the gods wage a devastating war, an innocent life is lost: the daughter of the Creator himself. In his grief, he shatters her soul and traps its fragments—and the children of every god who participated in the war—inside an endless time loop.

Now, they are reborn again and again.

They find each other.
They fall in love.
They forget.

Until one of them remembers.
