Weave Of A Thousand Lies

Princess Lineya has tried to cure a mysterious plague with Stitchbinding, the magic of her kingdom, and failed. Her mother has fallen ill at Lineya's own hand, so the princess uses Timesplicing to travel into the future in search of a cure.

The trip has a price. Lineya has been torn out of the fabric of time, so in the future she does not exist. Nobody knows her, and that includes the man she is betrothed to.

The future kingdom is ruled by a cruel king who oppresses the whole land. Only his closest advisors can use Stitchbinding. Kemp, a peasant rebel, hates all Lyndens, wants Stitchbinding powers for himself and means to overthrow the king. When Lineya joins his band, he does not trust her.

The rebels plan an attack on the palace to steal the cure. As they work together, Lineya and Kemp grow close. She starts to refuse the return that would save her mother and give her the crown, because Kemp is someone she could never have in her own time.

This is a young adult fantasy with an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance. It is low-spice, with kisses and chemistry, and the choice between duty and love drives the stakes.
