Book clubs across Spain and Latin America (Mexico, Argentina, Colombia) have adopted Hilos que unen as their October/November read due to its autumnal, melancholic atmosphere. The EPUB format allows these clubs to share highlighted quotes easily via WhatsApp or Discord. Searching for "Hilos que unen - Kika Hatzopoulou.epub" is the first step into a rich, dark, and beautifully woven world.

However, these are not the Hercules-style heroes of myth. In Hatzopoulou’s world, the descendants of the Fates, the Sea, and the Hunt are razor-thin minorities living in the shadows. The protagonist, , is a descendant of the Moirai (the Fates). Her power is unique and melancholic: she can see the threads that bind people together—threads of marriage, friendship, familial love, and life itself. She is a “descendant of the Fates,” working as a private investigator in a city where the rich pay her to cut unwanted threads (like broken engagements) or to find missing people by following invisible strands.
