For generations, girls known as spinsters have been called by Arras' Manipulation Services to work the looms and control what people eat, where they live, how many children they have, and even when they die. Gifted with the unusual ability to weave time with matter, sixteen-year-old Adelice Lewys is exactly what the guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to embroider the very fabric of life. But Adelice isn't interested. Because once you become a Spinster, there's no turning back.

“Debut author Albin spins an intriguing dystopian
world that mirrors ours: resources are limited, men have most of the
power, and women do the work that holds the world together…Adelice has a delightfully snarky mouth, and she
takes a leap at the end of the book that will inspire readers to follow
her into the next installment.”
