Synopsis

Full of grotesque monsters and revenge, Evie Mei's journey to confront her mother's killer comes to an end in this sequel to The Spindle of Fate by Aimee Lim.Evie Mei Huang has literally been to hell and back alongside her friend Kevin. And while the trip to Dìyù, the Chinese underworld, was a grueling journey filled with endless horrors, nothing compares to the fact that she was unable to bring her mother back. She now has the great responsibility to assume the role her mother once held: head of the Weavers Guild. Spinning people’s fates sure seemed easier said than done, and now Evie finds herself buried in Guild duties while trying to maintain a strained relationship with her best friend.What could make a twelve-year-old’s life even more complicated? Escaped monsters from the underworld that broke through when she returned to Earth. A mysterious yellow fog that seems to be turning their city upside down and hinting at an approaching massive force they aren’t prepared to fight. Not to mention the looming threat of the man who sent her mom to the underworld in the first place (who’s also her aunt’s fiancé). Can’t a girl catch a break?Aimee Lim’s fast-paced conclusion to Evie Mei’s story is filled with her signature sardonic voice, explorations of grief and relationships, and thrilling action that will leave readers rooting for the young girl whose courage outshines everyone else’s.
