Leylines

In the invisible spaces between our world and the next, a war has been raging for millennia. Architect Elara Vance believes in order—clean lines, precise measurements, a universe that can be mapped and understood. But when a routine site visit to a crumbling tenement triggers a violent collapse, she wakes to a terrifying truth hidden beneath the city streets. The world is crisscrossed with Ley Lines—Ying and Yang, light and dark. Angels travel the Ying, bringing harmony. Demons ride the Yang, feeding on human suffering. And Elara can see them all. Plunged into a secret society of Seers, she learns the terrible cost of this invisible war. Yang lines under homes cause sickness and death. Demons whisper nightmares into the vulnerable. And an ancient evil called Malakor has discovered a dormant line of unimaginable power beneath the city's financial district—a line he intends to awaken, creating a permanent wound that could poison an entire continent. Now Elara must master her newfound Sight, learn to raise the lines to protect the innocent, and embrace a power she never asked for. But when she discovers that the lines cannot be fought with light alone, she must attempt the impossible: not raising the darkness, but balancing it. The war between good and evil has found its new battlefield. And its only hope is an architect who sees the world differently. The Ley Threshold is the first novel in a gripping urban fantasy series about sacrifice, balance, and the hidden energies that shape our lives.
