Description
Atmospheric gothic romtasy from bestselling author Jessica Curry: in the very heart of Scotland, spinners cast spells, turning embroidery into a mesmerizing—and deadly—art.
Bound by a risky bargain with the fae, a spinner is forced to hide in a grim Scottish estate full of secrets, hoping to find a gateway to Elfhame.
In Scotland, magic is both craft and beauty: it is born in stitches, patterns, and the weaving of threads. Master spinners infuse their works with the life force of plants, turning cloth into spells. But there are those who crave more and choose the dark path—feeding their spells with the energy of living creatures to grow stronger.
Rose is a talented spinner who can create hexes with needle and thread. But for power, one must pay: her gift is running out and slowly killing her. Long ago, Rose made a pact with the cunning fae Lachlan—tied the knot and swore with her heart. Now the time has come: if she refuses, she will lose her magic.
To keep her promise, Rose must find a passage to Elfhame, infiltrate the fae lands, and steal a branch from the Tree of Dwirra. The trail leads through misty Scottish moors—to the estate of the young laird Konrad. By Lachlan’s command, Rose becomes Konrad’s governess, searching for portals hidden by ancient enchantments. And the closer she gets to the answer, the stronger the pull becomes toward the mysterious laird—a man who hates magic.
The choice won’t let her rest: fulfill the bargain and doom Konrad to death—or break the contract, losing her magic and with it her own life. But in a world where destinies are woven together like patterns, the strongest spell may be love.
