'n a world where Others play with mortal lives, in a hidden province that survives on the backs of abducted slaves, Isabella, one of those kidnapped, sends a message woven into rare cloth made of paper and silk in the vain hope that her cousin will find it, decipher it and rescue her.

'For cousin Nicholas with whose life the Fates have been playing, only time will tell if he will find her and whether what makes a curse does indeed break a curse.'
