Marit knows how dangerous it is to let too much Firn build up--after all, it killed her sister--and she has vowed never to use her thread magic. But when Eve, a fellow orphan whom Marit views like a little sister, is adopted by the wealthy Helene Vestergaard, Marit will do anything to stay by Eve's side. She decides to risk the Firn and uses magic to secure a job as a seamstress in the Vestergaard household.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Marit has a second, hidden agenda: her father died while working in the Vestergaards' jewel mines--and it might not have been an accident. The closer Marit gets to the truth about the Vestergaard family, the more she realizes she and everyone she's come to love are in danger. When she finds herself in the middle of a treacherous deception that goes all the way up to the king of Denmark, magic may be the only thing that can save her--if it doesn't kill her first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAtmospheric Historical Fantasy: \u003c\/b\u003e Nineteenth-century Denmark comes alive, from an orphan's gritty life in Karlslunde to the glittering, dangerous halls of the Vestergaard family.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInvestigating a Mysterious Death: \u003c\/b\u003e Marit takes a job in the very household she suspects is responsible for her father's death in their jewel mines, but every secret she uncovers puts her and Eve in greater danger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThread Magic: \u003c\/b\u003e Marit's unique ability to sew with magic comes at a price--a deadly, ice-like buildup in her veins called the Firn.
