Notes
Description
"From debut novelist Laura Maylene Walter, a bold and dazzling exploration of fate and female agency in a world very similar to our own--except that the markings on women's bodies reveal the future"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
Like all girls, Celeste Morton was born with a set of childhood markings-- the freckles, moles, and birthmarks on her body-- that foretell her future and that of those around her. With puberty will come a new set of predictions that will solidify her fate. The possibilities outweigh the worry that the future and the fear of her "changeling period" when women are nearly irresistible to men and the risk of abduction is rife. As a skilled interpreter of the future, a field that typically excludes men, her brother Miles considers Celeste his practice ground. When Celeste changes, she learns a devastating secret about Miles's fate. It is a secret that could destroy her family, a secret she will do anything to keep. When the lies of brother and sister collide, it sets her on a path to fight against the inherent misogyny of fortune-telling. -- adapted from jacket
