The Unraveling
The Luminated Threads #1
by Laurel Wanrow
Genre: Science Fiction / Steampunk / Fantasy
Synopsis
In 1868 England, artist Annmar Masterson dreams of owning her own illustration shop, which the city’s ruthless industrial magnate would willing give her—but not for proper work. She flees his loathsome advances and takes advertising work on a farm in a secluded valley.
Life in the countryside turns nineteen-year-old Annmar’s world upside down. Her lifelong fanciful visions of blue threads are every bit as real as the plant and animal shifters hiding their lives from the rest of Victorian England. The secretive folk with their strange powers might not fit Annmar’s proper city ways, but the attentions of shapeshifter Daeryn Darkcoat have Annmar re-thinking how proper she wants to be.
But their timing is wretched. Daeryn is up to his whiskers fighting against a terrifying scourge. If the farm succumbs, Annmar’s job is over. Her magic might help stop the pests…if she can learn to use it properly. If not, she’ll be forced to leave the people she has come to care for and become what she fears most: nothing more than another cog in the city magnate’s gears.
THE UNRAVELING is Volume 1 of a 3-part serialized novel for readers 15+, mixing steampunk, fantasy, shapeshifters and romantic adventure in a historical setting.

I’ve only read a couple of steampunk stories, but they were fun, VERY creative!
I’be enjoyed the genre too and yes, this sounds fun.
I’m a fan of witch stories too, and this sounds promising😁
I do enjoy stories with witches:)
I am not longer committing to series, but if you are up for a three book run, it could be interesting watching Annmar grow into her powers
I’m reading so many different series, it’s hard to keep up with them all:)
It does sound like a bit of everything going on! I hope you enjoy it when you get to read it.
It sounds very entertaining:)
