About the Author
Mary Pascual is a writer and artist who believes finding magic is only a matter of perspective. She loves stories about characters with heart and fantastical settings that are more than meets the eye. She grew up in California and enjoys reading, art, traveling, exploring outside, and building elaborate stage sets for Halloween. Writing has taken her on a number of unexpected adventures, including working in high tech, meeting psychics, interviewing rock bands, and even once attending a press conference for Bigfoot. She got hooked on reading adult science fiction and fantasy in the fifth grade--so in retrospect, much of her reading material was completely inappropriate (which probably explains a few things). She lives with her husband, son, and assorted demanding cats in San Jose, California.

--Katie Keridan, author of Reign Returned and Blood Divided "A thrilling mix of magic and intrigue, art and science, family and friends. Naya's family's ability to peek into people's stories by finger-walking the invisible threads that surround them is a beautiful complement to their work as textile artists; and it could be one of the most innovative creations I've ever read in a young adult story. The artist in me loved the weaving of threads, and the stay-up-too-late reader in me devoured the suspenseful storytelling."
