  • "Incapable, Awkward, Artless - That's what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen-year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret - she wants to fail. Gifted with the ability to weave time and matter, Adelice is exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, power and beauty, the ability to embroider the very fabric of life. It also means entering a world secrets and lethal intrigue. But unlike the others, Adelice isn't interested in controlling what people eat, where they live, and how many children they have and will do anything to hide her talent from the Guild. But when she slips up during her final test, her gift is identified. Now she has one hour to eat her mum's overcooked dinner. She has one hour to listen to her sister's school gossip and laugh at her dad's stupid jokes. She has one hour to pretend everything is OK. And she has one hour to escape. Because once you become a Spinster, there's no turning back.."@en
  • "Inútil. Torpe. Las demás chicas lo susurran a sus espaldas durante las pruebas. Pero la joven Adelice Lewys tiene un secreto: sus errores son intencionados. Dotada de una habilidad fuera de lo común para tejer el tiempo. Adelice sabe que ella es exactamente lo que la Corporación está buscando. Si es elegida tejedora, conseguirá privilegios, riqueza, y belleza eterna, pero también será responsable de bordar la esencia del mundo: sus nacimientos, su clima, su comida... y su muerte; un precio demasiado alto que la joven no está dispuesta a aceptar. Sin embargo, los hilos del telar de Arrás tienen bien atado su destino. Su rebeldía ha sido detectada. Una vez dentro del Coventri, no solo deberá aprender a manejar, sino también a decidir en quien confiar y a quién vigilar... y a quien amar."@es
  • "Un mundo de secretos e intrigas donde una joven puede controlar los destinos de todos menos el suyo propio... Inútil. Torpe. Las demás chicas lo susurran a sus espaldas. Pero la joven de dieciséis años Adelice Lewys tiene un secreto: sus errores son intencionados. Dotada de una habilidad fuera de lo común para tejer el tiempo, Adelice es exactamente lo que la Corporación está buscando, y en Arras ser elegida tejedora es todo a lo que una chica puede aspirar. Ser hilandera significa privilegios, riqueza y belleza eterna. Pero no solo eso, también significa tener la facultad de bordar la esencia de la vida. Pero para ello hay que pagar un precio que Adelice no está dispuesta a asumir, puesto que deberá controlar absolutamente todo lo que las personas son: lo que comen, dónde viven, cuántos hijos tienen... Así que está decidida a fallar en las pruebas para ser hilandera, pero en su último examen sus dedos resbalan, el telar reacciona a su don... y la Corporación la identifica. A partir de ese momento, Adelice dejará de tener control sobre su vida y pasará a convertirse en un instrumento más de la omnipresente Corporación. Sin embargo, una vez dentro, el poder de Adelice irá creciendo mientras aprende a manejar su don y a decidir en quién confiar, a quién vigilar... y a quién amar."
  • "Deadly Secrets Tangled Lies Woven truths Incapable. Awkward. Artless. That's what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen-year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret: She wants to fail. Gifted with the ability to weave time with matter, she's exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen to work the looms is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. It also means the power to manipulate the very fabric of reality. But if controlling what people eat, where they live, and how many children they have is the price of having it all, Adelice isn't interested. Not that her feelings matter, because she slipped and used her hidden talent for a moment. Now she has one hour to eat her mom's overcooked pot roast. One hour to listen to her sister's academy gossip and laugh at her dad's jokes. One hour to pretend everything's okay. And one hour to escape. Because tonight, they'll come for her."@en
