The possibilities are tantalizing enough to outweigh her worry that the future she dreams of won t be the one she s fated to experience. Celeste s beloved brother, Miles, who is training to be a fortune-teller, is equally anticipating what Celeste s transformation will reveal. But when Celeste matures into her adult markings, she discovers a devastating omen about Miles s future. Desperate to protect her family from the truth, Celeste s once charmed life unravels, forcing her to question everything she s ever known about fate and female agency, and face the perils of knowing what s to come too soon.
