Spindle of Life

Charlie has spent her life inside the Agnus's grip, an oppressive order that suppresses magical youth into surrendering their powers at their school. Fearing her days with magic are numbered, she stumbles onto a secret rebellion with an empty seat reserved for the foretold child of Life, the one person who could set magic free.

Drawn to the rebels' handsome leader, Charlie plays the part while trying to actually connect with the power she's been taught to fear, caught between the promise of freedom, a found family who expect more of her than she's ready for, and a first love she can't quite trust.

C.L. Qvam opens an upper-YA saga rooted in the mythology of the Fates, where the price of magic is paid in more than money.
