Travis Tithe never asked for heroism. He just wanted to stitch quietly, love truly, and avoid cursed undergarments wherever possible. But when his legendary father falls mysteriously ill, Travis sets out on a cure-bound quest through the uncharted seams of Cleavendale.

Along the way, he earns the favor of a kind girl from a rich family, only to discover her father won’t bless their union until Travis proves himself in a labyrinth… one guarded by illusions, stitched riddles, and a stolen relic from the Wraith Queen’s pedestal of forgotten dreams.

In his journey, Travis gains more than scars: he earns a golden eye that can see through darkness, deception, and the subtle truths most mortals miss. But clarity comes at a cost, and when he finds a community of broken shapeshifters with mangled transformations (including a man half-panther, half-disaster), Travis must decide: is healing a matter of magic… or understanding?

Cursed threads, demonic politics, spectral fashion crimes, and one man with a golden eye and a golden heart. These are the Trials of Travis Tithe.
