Lovett Tamerlane is a silkwitch, her rare magic harnessed only through marriage to a Weaver. But finding a Weaver husband requires status, refinement, and money, all of which Lovett lacks. Her only saving grace is her secret ability: to open any door.
But when Lovett opens the wrong one, she finds herself face to face with Eliot Lear, the notorious son of a prominent Weaver. Eliot offers her a life-altering opportunity: entrance to the Vainglory, a competition with the ultimate prize - marriage to Noe Alaire, heir to generations of Weaver wealth. Last year, Eliot's sister won the Vainglory - and died. Now Lovett must solve the mystery of her death. If she does, Eliot will ensure she has her pick of Weaver suitors, regardless of who wins the competition. Yet unravelling the murder proves far more complicated than either of them anticipated. And Lovett should know better than to take a Weaver at his word.
