Description
Evie Mei has literally been to hell and back. And while the trip to Diyu, the Chinese underworld, alongside Kevin was a gruelling feat 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 weaver in the magical 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 13-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 man who sent her mum to the underworld in the first place (and her aunt's fiancé). Can't a girl catch a break?!
Aimee Lim's fast-paced conclusion to The Thread of Destiny 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.
