Parenting is full of decisions, nearly all of which can be agonized over.
There is an abundance of often-conflicting
...
Incapable. Awkward. Artless. Thats what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen-year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret
- she wants to fail.
Gifted with the ability to weave time & matter, Adelice is exactly what the Guild is looking for, & in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want.
It means privilege, power & beauty, the ability to embroider the very fabric of life. It also means entering a world secrets & lethal intrigue. But unlike the others, Adelice isnt interested in controlling what people eat, where they live & how many children they have & will do anything to hide her talent from the Guild.
But when she slips up during her final test, her gift is identified. Now she has one hour to eat her mums overcooked dinner. One hour to listen to her sisters school gossip & laugh at her dads stupid jokes.
One hour to pretend everything is OK. & one hour to escape. Because once you become a Spinster, theres no turning back...
