Tessa doesn't believe in magic. Or Fate. But there's something weird about the dusty unicorn tapestry she discovers in a box of old books. She finds the creature woven within it compelling and frightening. After the tapestry comes into her possession, Tessa experiences dreams of the past and scenes from a brutal hunt that she herself participated in. When she accidentally pulls a thread from the tapestry, Tessa releases a terrible centuries old secret. She also meets William de Chaucy, an irresistible 16th-century nobleman. His fate is as inextricably tied to the tapestry as Tessa's own. Together, they must correct the wrongs of the past. But then the Fates step in, making a tangled mess of Tessa's life. Now everyone she loves will be destroyed unless Tessa does their bidding and defeats a cruel and crafty ancient enemy.
My Review:
This was such a fantastic book! Very unique, with the unicorn tapestry, though I have read a book that was similar before, that's only one other time that I've read about it done, so yeah, still unique! And I really enjoyed reading about Tessa!
The world with magic and fate, and tapestries, and a 16th century nobleman, was so interesting! Tessa doesn't believe at first, but with enough evidence, she comes around, and yeah, the journey she went on was so awesome to read!
Having to deal with the threads that were stolen from the Fates, well, isn't not a fun thing to do! Because if the person responsible can do that, well, yeah, that's going to be a tough bad guy to face! But Tessa and William deal pretty well!
This was just a really fantastic book! And it wrapped up pretty great, in a way that it could be a stand alone (which will be more likely the more time goes by) or it could be a series, so we could spend more time in this world, which would be great!
I just really enjoyed this book! It was really well written and unique!
