Imagine my delight (many years later) upon discovering Woven, the rare, needle-in-a-haystack book to spotlight sewing as actual magic. I realized this brand-new way to create and express myself. Much to my chagrin, we did not live on a farm. Because soon Nels will disappear forever. They must seek out an ancient needle with the power to mend what has been torn, and they have to move fast.

Now the young hero has awoken as a ghost, invisible to all around him save one person-his only hope for understanding what happened to him-the kingdom’s heir, Princess Tyra.

Two unlikely allies must journey across a kingdom in the hopes of thwarting death itself.Īll his life, Nels has wanted to be a knight of the kingdom of Avërand.
