LINES OF FATE
The Wright women all have a gift. A secret knowledge passed down in the margins of ancient cookbooks, in prayers whispered over tea, and in spells woven into lullabies.
When 16-year-old Lily Wright discovers a devastating foretold heartbreak in the lines of her palms, she decides to take action and change her fate. But actions have consequences, and Lily soon discovers that it’s not only her fate she tampered with but that of a boy with secrets of his own.
As their altered destinies play out, Lily’s interference with the course of their lives takes a deadly detour—one that could cut both their lives short.
Lines of Fate is a spellbinding short story weaved by critically acclaimed author Isabel Sterling, and the perfect read for fans of V.E. Schwab and Holly Black.
