The goddess-spinner weaves the threads of fate into a tight knot. One thread—for a forest witch who rejects her fate. In a city without enchantments, it’s just as dangerous as in the Great Forest, but it’s the only place where she can hide from the ancient gods. The second thread—for a sorcerer who tries to cheat fate. Milosh is obsessed with the desire for revenge, but hatred destroys him. The third thread—for a prince who fears his fate. Having lost his beloved, Vyachko tries to find a new purpose in life, but perhaps it has always been known to him. The fourth thread—for a servant who obeys fate. And it is exactly him—Ezy—that the gods chose to uncover the secrets hidden by the Owl Tower. The spinning wheel turns; the spinner goddess firmly holds the threads. She can easily cut any of them.
