During their formative years, the pair encounter groundbreaking discoveries and strange signs that reveal the truth - and the interconnectedness - of the folktales they know and love.When Kieran and Katharyn return home for the summer after university, their families start pushing them toward a fate of eternal union that neither of them wants. Bound by ancient prophecies and long-standing tradition, the two must decide: can they rewrite their destinies, or will the red string of fate tie them down a path they can't escape?After all, only one thing is for certain: legends are more than lessons - and they can turn to reality in the blink of an eye.-----'red string:' an ONC 2025 novella by Faith @kth_disneyfanaticcover by @Saramitra_…
