A Fate Unwoven

A heretical storyteller partners with an ancient spirit to undo the magic that subjugates her to the crown, in this chilling debut fantasy filled with monsters, forbidden rituals, and corrupt deities.

This gorgeous hardcover edition features foiled elements on the dust jacket and case, with a beautifully detailed map inside!

The Emperor of Wyrecia is dying, and 17-year-old Lena has just gained the power to control fate itself, binding her to the young prince Dimas as the empire's next Fateweaver. Hunted by the empire's most ruthless soldiers, Lena escapes with a handsome smuggler toward enemy territory. But a former lover betrays Lena, and her magic becomes agony--compelling Lena to submit to a gilded cage.

Still, an ancient spirit offers hope: to sever her bond to the throne, Lena must unroot a ritual hidden beneath the palace. As Prince Dimas struggles to forge friendship with Lena and bring his empire under peaceful rule, sinister cultists unveil a twisted plan to unleash an ancient evil that could tear the realm asunder. With every step Lena takes on her quest to freedom, she uncovers a troubling imperial past that tarnishes the nation's matron goddess. Perhaps the oral histories passed down to Lena are not foolish heresy, after all.

Written with captivating mystery, queer romance, and a dual point of view narrative, this first entry in the Threads of Fate dark fantasy duology roots its magic system in mythological lore. An enchanting selection for young adult readers who don't mind a little terror with their adventure!
