The Last Knot of Aethelgard

About this book

In the sky-bound realm of Aethelgard, family status is dictated by Kinship Anchors—magical tethers that bind relatives together in glowing light. Told entirely in reverse chronology, this drama unravels the tragic and beautiful story of Morven, an outcast "Snag" whose brittle, grey tethers make her the ultimate underdog. While her brother Lachlan shines with sun-gold Luminous anchors, Morven's quest for belonging slowly reveals the devastating truth behind their society's magic. Starting at the breathtaking, catastrophic end and working backward to the quiet, fragile beginnings, the novel peels back the layers of family loyalty, the price of perfection, and the ultimate sacrifice required to break the cycles of a prejudiced world.
