The Jackets Secret

Book excerpt: Caleb Morrison, a young man obsessed with collecting antique jackets from around the world, believes his life is defined by his growing collection. Each jacket represents a unique story, a piece of history, but Caleb's obsession leaves him feeling hollow. That is, until he meets Aria Flynn, the owner of a vintage store who challenges his view of life and materialism. Aria teaches Caleb that the true value of life lies not in the things we own, but in the experiences and connections we make. Aria has a deep connection to a mysterious group known as the Brotherhood, individuals who control a secret power tied to the very fabric of existence: the threads that connect all lives, moments, and fates. As Caleb becomes drawn into Aria's world, he learns that his collection of jackets is not just a hobby—each jacket is part of a much larger story, a hidden thread that binds him to the Brotherhood's ancient power.
