To pass the time, Anna imagines unique worlds populated by creatives and dreamers--the exact opposite of the Kings land of fixed fates and rigid rules--and weaves them into four glorious tapestries.But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday and her promised release from the Tower, Anna discovers her true lineage: Shes the daughter of Marco, a powerful magician, and the King is worried that his magical gifts are starting to surface in Anna. Fearing for her life, Anna flees the Tower and finds herself in Cups, a lush, tropical land full of all the adventure, free-spiritedness, and creativity she imagined while weaving. Anna thinks shes found paradise in this world of beachside parties, endless food and drink, and exhilarating romance. But when the fabric of Cups begins to unravel, Anna discovers that her tapestries are more than just forbidden expression. Theyre the foundation for a new world that she is destined to create--as long as the terrors from the old world dont catch up with her first.
