Haunted by an apparition who threatens her life and the lives of her friends, Freddie Marsh, a successful commodity analyst, searches for answers and finds herself facing her worst nightmare. The darkness she senses in this ghostly stalker is more than her imagination. Reluctant to embrace the powers she has always dismissed, she follows the guidance of a wolf known as Avatar, who knows well the power of the darkness stalking her.

The confrontation with her ghostly stalker disrupts the status quo. Freddie’s addiction to control has always isolated her from close relationships, leaving work as the only stable connection in her life. Now, as every corner of her life is invaded, her self-sufficiency is lost. She must trust others if she is to survive, and most of all, she must risk trusting herself because using the paranormal ability she fears is the only way she can survive.

Her stalker’s rage at the perversity of his world long ago unleashed his power, and now control over the world around him, including Freddie, becomes his quest. The intensity of his negativity hurtles them both toward the edge of extinction.

Thirty-nine years later the threads that bind the generations begin to reconnect for the final battle in The Threads That Bind. By quirk of fate, Mandy Gray, whose last and best friend was Fredrika Marsh, leaves her secluded profession as a research psychologist in 2019 to take a position as a guidance counselor at Briarton Academy where the orphaned and wealthy Jillian Missildine is a student. They become fast friends, but it is four years before they discover the thread that connects them.

Once this connection is made, all the others - those connected to the past through Freddie and her nemesis - flow swiftly toward each other. The patterns of their lives become tangled and knotted, and the decision has to be made about who will survive. 

“Sometimes the threads of one’s life fit neatly together and a pattern begins to emerge that has great promise. Other times, the threads become tangled and knotted, and the pattern gets lost. When this happens, it is best to snip the threads and begin again, for the pattern always awaits you.”
