For years beyond imagining the Weavers of Andera have maintained the Threads of Existence, passing this responsibility from mother to daughter. Generation after generation each Weaver has woven the balance between the magical and non-magical beings of the Five Universes.

Now the Threads are in jeopardy. Great evil threatens the existence of Andera, of magical beings and the Weaver herself. The last of the Weaver's line is untrained and unaware, living on Earth.

Asher Blake has spent her life being unremarkable, making music in her head. She knows nothing of Crafters who can create magic from their art, or the Weaver, or of prophecies. Certainly not a prophecy that ties her to the very heart of the Weave. Asher has no desire to be anyone other than an ordinary, forgettable human girl.

But the Weaver needs her heir, and she is not the only one who wants her. When the wrong girl is taken, a reluctant Asher must step forward and become the Crafter she was destined to be.
