Threads of the Fifth Realm

Oaths of Ruin: Vol I, Blood Moon

Rate this book
The biggest thing Lyra Bloom knows about dragons is a lie.

Reassigned from the brutal Citadel and sent to the Northern Peaks to fight exiled dragons, Lyra knows exactly what the orders a one-way trip. A death sentence. But when Talen arrives to rescue her in a form she can barely comprehend, Lyra is taken to a hidden camp where every truth she was taught begins to unravel.

Dragons may not be the monsters she was raised to fear. The Citadel’s cruelty may be hiding something far worse than control. And the power threaded through Lyra’s veins may be more dangerous than anyone realised.

And when the Blood Moon rises, Lyra will face the ceremony meant to separate the worthy from the weak. It will tear open her Threads, expose the truths she has buried, and force her to face everything she has spent years trying to survive.

But surviving the ceremony may not be enough, because something dark is growing beyond the Northern Peaks... A black mist that even the dragons fear...

Oaths of Ruin is a slow-burn epic fantasy romance with dragons, being released in two volumes. Volume Blood Moon is available now, with Volume II coming soon.

At a certain point I was just showing up for Dave, bless his chonky self, because this was rough. Especially compared to the 1st book—the pacing was off and there were times when the writing just felt sloppy. Also, why do you have to say Talens “POV”? What is this, amature TikTok story telling? And the build up to Lyra breaking the tele-textie-whatever was so dumb and painfully obvious. It felt like the author was strrrrretching this puppy out for idk what reason bc any professional editor should have been like “sis, you gotta cut the nonsense out and get to the action.”

Read it! Has extraordinary potential!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review for Book 1 & 2 of Threads Series WITH SPOILERS!!!

I read everything from a made for tv/movie viewpoint so, here are my thoughts.
Spoilers!! Read at your own peril.

Fox is a MUCH better writer than many of the current authors who’ve gained tv adaptation deal.
Her work on the Threads Series (with only 2 books currently released) is far SUPERIOR to “popular” dragon series of the same genre.

The world building is well done so that the reader can visualize themselves in each environment alongside the characters.
The premise of the series storyline is familiar to most fantasy readers with a clear “good vs evil” trope and similar to existing fantasy/Romatacy and paranormal themes in terms of an ongoing fight against corrupt practices, laws, and hierarchy.
Many readers, like myself, crave a leisure time diversion from real life corrupt patriarchal power structures.
We want to read about powerfully intelligent women living by their own values.

Here’s where it comes to matter of personal choice.
I appreciate this author’s choices not to make the FMC a magical “know it all” and not to let the story “tell” readers “how smart and special” she is.
I prefer any FMC driven story describe an emotionally intelligent person who is self actualized. The 1st two books give us a gorgeous, emotionally hot mess of a heroine, which grew (for me) a bit tedious as the story went on. I definitely like this FMC MORE than the soon to be adapted for tv series that has its fandom in a twist over fan casting.
I like her MORE because the author has taken the time to allow her to “demonstrate” who she is rather than have her depicted as a Mary Sue that everyone in the story (and the author) “tell us” how special she is. Readers can decide for themselves if we think she’s intelligent, capable, emotionally stable, worth the continued read.

This FMC has to earn every inch of self actualization.
She has to overcome her upbringing, history, and lack of training.
She is however, (for me) lagging in the critical thinking/observation/self awareness departments, choosing instead to give in to a daily battle against her own self doubt and overly time consuming thoughts about the MMC. For this to be adapted for tv/movie consumption, these conditions (in my opinion) make it a bit difficult to capture a wide audience in the age ranges and demographics that studios wish to attract. One caveat is that the author has made the brilliant choice to allow the dragons to appear in miniature form, which would be, from a budgetary perspective) less costly to CGI/create.
Also…it’s a unique & interesting choice as: WHO DOESN’T WANT A POCKET SIZED DRAGON? The production costs would be more manageable and the merch opportunities are there.

The readers spend an extraordinary amount of time learning what is upsetting the FMC and who the MMC has had previous “relationships” with rather than exploring the different facets and their infrastructure of this world (Innerlanders/Outterlanders/Citadel Leadership.) I REALLY want to understand what the “Movement” is actually gearing up to accomplish. As of Book 2, there’s no real Movement consensus on what it is they hope to achieve other than remove one creepy all powerful corrupt cult leader inside the Citadel/completely end the Citadel power structure.
This is a void in the overall storyline for the readers as they must be content with micro observations made by the FMC of passed notes, accidentally observing partial conversations, and then spending ZERO time reflecting on what they could mean. There is no scene in which movement members have meaningful consensus. The FMC spends an EXTRAORDINARY amount of time worrying about the mental health/opinions/appeasement of her newly acquired “friends” (also her obvious enemies) without really having a clear or demonstrated personal purpose/set of values. This repeatedly causes her to disrupt the movement, endanger herself and her “friends,” and regular civilians.
The letter threader was particularly upsetting from a “movement/rebellion/revolution” standpoint if you’re a fan of intelligence & forward moving storylines. It was a HUGE breach of security just to pass love notes. Think Andor level dead drops/tradecraft techniques to pass information.
Wouldn’t the FMC just ASK Lucien to ask HIS DRAGON to communicate with the MMC rather than RISKING the use of a magical communication device that SENDS PRINTED intelligence communications during their “love texting?”
I do appreciate NOT having to read all the indoctrinated military-esque hierarchy trope nonsense we read through in the OTHER series. I DEFINITELY appreciate not having non-con amnesia marriage/pregnancy foisted on us, BUT…I personally would have liked a much more nuanced and thoughtful approach to “movement” goals/communications dispatches & a more well demonstrated ability to critically access & use the tidbits our FMC is seeing/hearing/dreaming/learning. BE SMARTER, Lyra!

Veins of Power left me salivating for more, and Oaths of Ruin Vol 1 absolutely kept me fed. We jump straight in where we left off, with Lyra coming to terms with loss, betrayal and a shift to her worldview. Vol 1 definitely focused on expanding the world and fantasy lore, with the romance serving as more of a subplot. As much as I missed Talen and steamy sexy times it felt necessary for us as the reader to go on that journey of understanding with Lyra. I especially loved getting to know more about the dragon bonds and culture; this is one of the most unique takes I've seen on the dragons/dragon riders trope. And don't fret lovers of romance and spice - what steamy scenes we do get are absolutely worth the wait 🥵

We are primarily in Lyra's POV, but the additional POV chapters are so well placed for both character development and keeping the overall story pace and energy flowing. While Oaths of Ruin Vol 1 is definitely slower paced versus Veins of Power I feel like it's the right pace for such a lore rich volume. And I suspect we the readers will be thankful for the breather ahead of diving into Vol 2, especially if that ending is any indication! Speaking of that ending, BECKY! Why do you do this to us girl 🤯 mind blown, tears cried, Becky doesn't pull any punches but we still love her for it. If you were a fan of Veins of Power, Oaths of Ruin is going be a no-brainer addition to the TBR. Still need to read both? This series is perfect for fans of Fourth Wing who go feral for

🔪Enemies-to-lovers
💕 Found family
🗝️ Secrets
⚔️ High stakes
🐦‍🔥 Bonded Dragons
🩶 Morally grey hero
❤️‍🩹 Past trauma
✨ Unique magic
💪 A man who yearns

Thank you so much to Becky for having me as an Alpha reader, it's been amazing following the journey of this story chapter by chapter!

*:✿˚⋆ SPOILER FREE REVIEW RECAP *:✿˚⋆

Becky can do no wrong. Veins of Power is one of my all-time favourite books and has earned a permanent spot in my personal Hall of Fame and Oaths of Ruin is well on its way to joining it.

Volume One gives readers the perfect dose of yearning and angst without letting the romance overshadow the overall plot. The story is told primarily through Lyra’s POV, but the Talen chapters sprinkled throughout add incredible depth, offering a much clearer understanding of his motivations and decisions. This first volume of Oaths of Ruin answers many of the lingering questions from Veins of Power while still leaving enough mysteries unresolved to keep you eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

The returning characters continue to grow in meaningful ways, but it was the new additions to the cast that truly stole the show for me. Becky introduces them seamlessly, and each one feels like they have an important role to play. I also really appreciated the LGBTQ+ representation. It felt completely natural and thoughtfully woven into the story, rather than existing solely for the sake of inclusivity. Every character felt authentic and essential to the narrative.

I don’t want to spoil anything when it comes to the relationships, but let’s just say… the slow burn was burning, and the butterflies were definitely fluttering.

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to beta read this volume, and I cannot wait for Mother Becky to keep feeding us chapters as the story unfolds.

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the author for allowing me the absolute privilege of being able to chapter read and Beta read this book. I truly appreciate it!

I thought the first book was so powerful, but this one truly takes the cake for that title but not in the way you might think. Finding power in your grief and your emotions is what you will find inside these pages. After the events of the previous novel, we find ourselves outside of the eyes of the Citadel in a whole new way, but trust me their clutches can and will sink a lot deeper than you ever imagined and will ever expect. The world Lyra is apart of has expanding so vividly yet again, but the new added found family members she aquires will leave you wishing they could be yours too well also maybe breaking your hearts as well. The story flows well just like the previous book and you will definitely be left with more questions than answers, but this story is so much more than the romance, and so much than the questions and intrigue, this story is an unexpected love letter to the darkest parts of ourselves. It's a recognition of what we feel are our failures, of our losses, of our grief, and the desire we all possess to be loved and accepted wholeheartedly for not just the lightess parts of ourselves but the darkest too and to never be let go of despite that darkness.

Thank you so very much again to the author for the absolute privilege of being able to read this book. I truly appreciate it.

Book 2, Volume I of the Threads of the Fifth Realm Trilogy

Picking up immediately after Veins of Power, Lyra’s world continues to spiral as everything she believed about dragons, the Citadel, and threads is turned up side down. Sent to the Northern Peaks to die, she discovers hidden truths, more found family, and a threat that could destroy everything.

While I continue to enjoy the characters and the overall storyline, this book didn’t quite capture my attention the same as the first. The story felt rushed, with several plot points and relationships moving full steam rather quickly. There were times where I found myself wanting more of everything, rather than simply being told they had happened.

The thread magic system remains one of the strongest parts of the series, and I enjoyed learning a little more about its origins and the growing divide within the realm. The dragons also play a much larger role this time around, which I loved, but once again, I was left craving more. I also struggled with some of the pacing, duplicate descriptions, and timeline transitions.

Even with those frustrations, I was still invested, and I need to know what happens. And once again, the author saves some of the biggest reveals for the final stretch before leaving readers with a major cliffhanger.

Overall, if you enjoyed Fourth Wing, you’ll likely appreciate the blend of dragons, enemies-to-lovers, adventure, and found family.

Thank you so much for the ARC!

*spoilers ahead*



I was so happy to have this early. And I really love these characters. However, I was a little bit disappointed, compared to book one. This book felt really rushed and there were a lot of things happening that didn’t feel fully explored. Like Ahria. All of a sudden Lyra has a dragon and apparently she can’t live without her. She says so. But it feels like it just came out of nowhere. Telling not showing. And the LGBT representation- while great, felt very much like it was just thrown in to tick a box. Suddenly Lyra was like “Reya is hot” “I’m questioning my sexuality” when there was no question of her liking girls in book one (which isn’t the problem). Then the scene happens but she’s not even really interested in Reya while it’s happening, it’s Talen. and then there’s no mention of anything with Reya again or Lyra’s feelings for her except irritation (that’s the problem). So putting it in really felt like it wasn’t needed. Would have been much more meaningful to have it between two characters as part of their development. I’d like to see something of Reya and whoever she is interested in instead, where the characters are actually interested in each other.
Overall it just felt rushed and not fully padded out. But I did also enjoy it and will read the next one.

Honestly, I am a bit disappointed by this after loving book one.

By the end of book one, the story was built up to a great sequel and I feel like this book failed to deliver that.

We never found out what the movement is really trying to achieve, we didn't get more world building but we sure as hell got a lot of insight into Talen's previous love life.

As for Lyra, there was very little actual character development and what tried to be character development just ended up repeating the same themes over and over again without achieving much.

Sadly the plot twists and the buildups to said twists were extremely predictable and the book itself was really dragged out. If this is only Volume I with 436 pages of esentially... nothing, what could Volume II be about? If this whole volume was just a buildup then it was really dragged out and unispiring and honestly everything in this volume could have been achieved in half the pages so the reader doesn't get bored out of their minds.

All in all I wish it delivered what Veins of Power could but this book ended up being super underwhelming. :(

I downloaded Veins of Power on a whim, and never regretted it! I was pleasantly surprised that this dropped so quickly and jumped in as soon as I could.

The magic and the dragons in this are incredibly unique. I love the revelation about the dragons and their sizes and how their magic works, but also how the bonding works. I've never read anything else like it!

I'm pretty sure that my rating will be higher, once volume 2 is done. There was definitely not enough Talen in this for my tastes. There was a little too much "I can't forgive him, because then I'd have to forgive myself, and I don't want to." (And don't get me wrong, I was actually VERY pleasantly surprised by this insight, it's just that Lyra thinks it *repeatedly*, and when you have that level of insight and you keep saying it over and over, and you don't do anything to get past it, it was a bit much.)

But, man, once the back half of this started, actually, once the Blood Moon kicked in? Then it's pretty non-stop excitement, and a killer cliffhanger.

I am absolutely ready and on board for volume 2!!!

This series is one of my absolute faves and more people need to know about it 🔥

You want slow burn, tension build up, long distance love with dragons then you need to add this to your list.

This book picks up immediately from the ending of book which is so needed after that cliffhanger. We follow multi POV between our FMC and MMC who have amazing tension and yearning. Our FMC has got a point to prove and is finding ways to forgive and trust herself again whilst our MMC is still being mysterious and hot but also yearning 🤤

The plot thickens with more mystery, further developments to those on power Vs the rebellion and we meet some new friends and found family.

The dragons have fun personalities and one of my fave characters who doesn't have a single word in the book is Dave.

Also there's some other characters that are a bit sus, if you loved fourth wing then you will love this just as much.

I was beyond happy to be an early reader for this sequel because this is such a great story! Though the slow-burn tension is killing me, I'm having a lot of fun reading about the ups and downs in Lyra and Talen's relationship. They are so cute and silly at the same time, haha, young love...
And everything about the Rebellion and the bonded dragons is so interesting and intriguing; I want to keep reading about all of it! There are so many secrets and hidden truths, and I'm hoping the second part of the sequel brings more answers. If not, I'm going to have a serious talk with Becky (AKA the author!).
I truly loved the first book, and now I'm loving the second part of this story. I honestly can't wait for the next one... hooked as I am, I NEED to know what's happening to all of them!
Thank you Becky for this advance copy, I'm so eager to read the next part!

Thank you Ms. Becky for allowing me to share in reading each chapter as you wrote it and also to be a BETA reader. It has been so much fun reading everyone's theories and ideas in
Discord each week and I cannot wait to "hopefully" get some answers I have wanted since Book One 😀

Ms. Becky seriously outdid herself with this one. Oaths of Ruin has everything I love in fantasy—dragons, romance, mystery, and a story that kept pulling me in deeper with every chapter. I was hooked on Lyra’s journey from the start, and every new reveal made it impossible to stop reading.

I loved how much bigger the world felt in this book. Veins of Power set everything up so well, but Oaths of Ruin takes it further with more depth, more emotion, and higher stakes. The mythology, the secrets, and the twists around the dragons and the Threads were so well done, and I loved slowly piecing everything together, and theorizing what would happen next!

Lyra was such a great main character, and the dragons were easily one of my favorite parts of the whole book,especially one particular snarky one. I also really loved the romance—it is still a slow burn, but it actually feels earned and adds so much to the story instead of taking away from it.

This book felt darker, more emotional, and even more gripping than Veins of Power. It made me anxious, emotional, and completely obsessed in the best way.

If you love fantasy with dragons, mystery, strong heroines, and romance, I definitely recommend Oaths of Ruin. For me, this was an easy 6-star read, and I need Volume 2 Soooo Bad!

A great start for a second installment!

Emotional first volume of book two of Threads in the Fifth Realm.

We immediately get back to Lyra’s story and throughout this first volume we see her self growth, we meet new characters and we learn of new places. There is more interaction with dragons and new information that plays to the bigger picture.

If you liked Veins of Power, the first installment of Threads of the Fifth Realm, you are going to love volume one of book two. Prepare yourself for heartbreak, surprises and a cliffhanger that will leave you asking for more.

Thank you Becky Jane Fox for the opportunity to be on your alpha team, it has been an honor! Waiting for the chapters to come in was an amazing feeling and it always made my day. I cannot wait for volume two of Oaths of Ruin!

Dragons, romance, currupt rulership, and spice. Need I say more. Becky Fox did not disappoint with book two Oaths of Ruin.
Picking up where book one left off, Talen finally reveals the secrets he has been hiding. Now Lyra has to decide if she can forgive Talen, but forgiving him would mean she also has to forgive herself. But that isn't her only struggle. She must also face her fears and prove herself worthy of a dragon bond.
Lyras emotional struggles and feelings of guilt broke my heart reading. And while emotional damage definitely dominated this books vibe, it also gave just enough spice and stubborn attitude to keep me glued to the pages.
Ending with a cliffhanger that has left me with a thousand questions, Im really not sure how I will wait for book three. This book was equally as great as the first, and I only wish I had book 3 to keep going.

I absolutely devoured this book in about 24 hours. After the absolute cliff hanger of book 1 I needed to know where we were heading next. This book took me on such a wild ride through a whole different perspective of dragons that was refreshing!

I still have so many questions and I cannot wait for the second part of this book to come out! It was nice to see Lyra connecting with some more badass females but I did miss our interactions with Talen… although the ones that we got did not disappoint!!

I would be lying if I said I didn’t throw my Kindle and scream at the cliff hanger ending of this book…

Read the first book Veins of Power and fell in love! I knew I needed to get on her team as soon as possible!! So being able to read the ARC before release was HEAVEN! Thank you to the author!!

We start right where we left off in book 1 and when I tell you this book is action packed, a slow burn that will make you sweat, found family, loyalty, rebellion and DRAGONS! You just can’t go wrong!!! I’m not gonna lie I’m here for the yearning because when they finally do the DO!!! EEEEEEKKK! I was squealing reading that chapter!!! So good!!!

Did she take me out with a cliffhanger ending?! Oh absolutely she did! And it did not disappoint!!

This was definitely worth the wait! I loved the fast pace of this book and learning more about Talen and the dragons! Dave the d**k is definitely my favourite ❤️ I loved all the new characters we met and can’t wait to read more about them!

Lyras grief and denial was so well written and had me choking up reading it as it’s so relatable! She really went through it this book and was amazing to read how she processed everything! I also loved that Talen didn’t push her and let her process in her own time!

The ending!!! I was shook! There was so much that happened in the last like 3 chapters! So much to process!
I am not okay after reading this!! But need vol 2 NOW!!!

This was giving as an arc. This review is based on my honest opinions.

I really enjoyed the second instalment of this series. I think it avoided most second book plot issues! I was a bit meh about the yes no of Lyra’s POV re Talen hopefully that’s sorted now.

The new characters were great! But I still miss the OG crew. The ending of V I though I kept hoping Lyra was still in a Vega juice haze it wasn’t until she was with Talen I gave up hope 😅😭

Love the character development for everyone! And what a cliffhanger to end on!!! Veins of Power is one of my fav 2026 reads and this sequal is right up there with it!!

I was very fortunate to be able to read this book before others thanks to the wonderful author. The world building, characters, and intensity had me losing sleep. I can’t wait to read volume 2. This author’s creativity, imagination, and details kept me wanting more which is hard to do with how picky I am when it comes to books. It’s a book you can reread over and over. Thank you to this author for keeping my love for books alive!

It has been a true privilege to read Mrs. Fox second book in the Threads of the Fifth Realm series. If I can give this book 100 stars, I would.

The world-building continues to be superrealistic; the slow-burn in this sequel will haunt your dreams. The friendships that Lyra makes will leave you feeling happy. How the dragons will leave you feeling delighted. The book ending leaveing myself wanting more.

Great follow up to Veins of Power 🙌🏼
We follow Lyra and Talen directly after the cliffhanger ending of book 1. So many exhilarating moments, lots of reveals yet also more questions. As this is only volume 1 of OOR we end it on a huge cliffy!

This story is addictive and fast paced. Each chapters keeps you turning pages. It definitely keeps you hooked and needing more.

Bring on Vol 2 please BJF! ♥️

LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

Absolutely LOVED this book! I'm already obsessed with this series and I can't wait for the second part of this book! The relationship between Lyra and Talen is so good, I wish we would have seen more of it in this part. Hoping part 2 has way more scenes between them! I just love everything about this series and realm! The ending cliffhanger was so good. I kind of suspected it while reading it.

The way Becky writes these characters has me believing I am there with them.

Each character has their own personality, and not washed out by another. Each character felt like a real person. Every action, and every emotion of every character makes so much sense even if I dont agree with what they are doing (we all yell at characters every once and a while).

I loved every moment of this book, even the emotional punches. Such a great continuation of the series.

So fast paced I never wanted to put the book down.

I am so glad that this picks up right after book one and we get so many questions answered, however like every great series this has me with now new questions.

I CANT WAIT FOR BOOK THREE. I think I might have like this book better then the second. I can definitely see an improvement in some of the writing. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

When reading this be prepared for your heart strings to be plucked and for you to have more questions. I cant wait to see where this series is going!

Just finished, honestly felt rushed, too many’s questions and little answers, feels like is dragging the story so it does not finish, about 50 pages to the end so many things happened and so confusing, it felt very rushed and shallow, I am still waiting for the part II but I am feeling a bit turned down, and I loved the first book. Was very refreshing

Gosh this book was so good, and I cannot believe we got another cliffhanger ending.

Yes, it does have some similarities to fourth wing but basically once you get past the dragons that’s where the similarities stop. The magic is completely different, and the author does not care about killing off your favorite characters. And wow the spice, yes yes yes. I’m here for it!!
