Sunday Waters has the ability to manipulate the Threads of Fate, giving her access to power and possibilities that most witches can only dream of... and she doesn't care at all. In fact, she's determined to use her magic as little as possible, and she's much more concerned with finding her soul mate than manipulating Threads. All witches are born with a soul mate, but at 30 years old, Sunday has started to lose hope.
So, when Calen Spade shows up to her apothecary with a Witch's Mark matching hers, Sunday is beyond thrilled... until several attempts on her life follow his arrival. Fighting between witches and Sylvans- magical beings that live beyond the Veil, including were-beings, vampires, and fae- is at an all-time high, and Sunday is both confused and terrified to find herself in the crossfire of a brewing magical war.
Calen isn't the only person looking out for Sunday, either. Dante Greenbern, a Sylvan prince assigned to guard her from harm, has his own ideas about Sunday's magic, Calen's intentions, and the future of the modern magical community as a whole. With luck, help, and the right choices, Sunday might be able to save the magical world as she knows it... or change it forever.
An orphan with a dubious pedigree strives to secure her future through marriage, but as she stumbles through the dance of courtship, she begins to question who she truly is -- and who she wants to be.
*****
Edith Shepley looks like a Wyrm.
She takes after her father, whoever he was, but that doesn't change things. She is a proper Folk lady nonetheless, trained from the cradle to govern as Baroness of Ewert someday. And she knows her duty.
Now a woman at sixteen years old, Edith must marry and beget Ewert's next heir. She obediently considers suitor after suitor, some sweet, some baffling, some detestable. But the more she sees of her mother's society, the more Edith questions whether she really is a Folk lady, after all. And the more she's stung by its insults, its injuries and injustices, the more she doubts she really wants to be.
