Red Threads

28 October, 2025

The cover of the book Red Threads. Two young people are standing in front of a series of red gates. The one nearest them has many pink flowers and the bottom of a lion's face. The person on the right has short light brown hair and is holding out something that is gold and glowing with black characters written on it. The person on the right is slightly shorter and has black hair. She's holding back a red string in one hand that is wrapped around three fingers of her other hand like it is a sling shot.

A magical story of friendship and new beginnings, Red Threads: A Witch’s Tale is perfect for fans of Magic Fish, Beetle and the Hollowbones, and Spirited Away.

Fifteen-year-old Hana is bored by her humdrum existence in Tokyo—there must be more to life than cram school and chores. After she rescues a crow caught in a net by her house, a mysterious visitor arrives at her door, offering her the chance to enroll in the most prestigious magic academy in Japan: The Benten School of Esoterics.

Hana jumps at the chance for adventure and life at Benten is everything she ever dreamed of—magic, mystical creatures, and making a new best friend in fellow new student Yoomi. But before long, Hana’s dream becomes a nightmare.

Something is haunting the halls, and a series of horrifying attacks leave everyone wondering: is Benten cursed? Will the legendary school have to close its doors for good? If Hana and Yoomi want to save their new home, they’ll have to unravel the mystery or die trying!
