The Thread of Destiny

Full of grotesque monsters and revenge, Evie Mei's journey to confront her mother's killer comes to an end in this sequel to The Spindle of Fate by Aimee Lim.

Evie Mei Huang has literally been to hell and back alongside her friend Kevin. And while the trip to Dìyù, the Chinese underworld, was a grueling journey filled with endless horrors, nothing compares to the fact that she was unable to bring her mother back. She now has the great responsibility to assume the role her mother once held: head of the Weavers Guild. Spinning people's fates sure seemed easier said than done, and now Evie finds herself buried in Guild duties while trying to maintain a strained relationship with her best friend.

What could make a twelve-year-old's life even more complicated? Escaped monsters from the underworld that broke through when she returned to Earth. A mysterious yellow fog that seems to be turning their city upside down and hinting at an approaching massive force they aren't prepared to fight. Not to mention the looming threat of the man who sent her mom to the underworld in the first place (who's also her aunt's fiancé). Can't a girl catch a break?

Aimee Lim's fast-paced conclusion to Evie Mei's story is filled with her signature sardonic voice, explorations of grief and relationships, and thrilling action that will leave readers rooting for the young girl whose courage outshines everyone else's.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Lim picks up the loose threads from the earlier book and satisfyingly ties them up. Evie continues to grieve and ruminate on her relationship with her mother, and the book focuses on her grappling with ethics and the gray areas surrounding circumstances and decisions. Teaming up with new and old allies alike, Evie satisfyingly begins to come into her own beliefs and determine who she wants to be as a daughter, sister, friend, and Weaver. An action-packed and thoughtful duology closer."—Kirkus

Chinese American middle schooler Evie Mei Huang seeks vengeance in this follow-up to 2024’sThe Spindle of Fate.

Evie ventured into Dìyù, or the Ten Courts of Hell, to save her mother not long ago, but the outcome wasn’t what she’d hoped for. Upon her return, Evie follows through on her mother’s wishes and spins a thread of fate to save The Gambler—Aunt Kathie’s fiancé and the man who murdered Evie’s mother. But Evie can’t help but think about avenging her mom: She wants The Gambler out of her aunt’s life and sent to the torturous depths of Dìyù. As Evie adjusts to her new role as the leader of the Weavers and the keeper of the Spindle of Fate, new opportunities arise, including an avenue for serving up justice to The Gambler. But with an unsettling yellow fog blanketing Southern California, along with the arrival of demons, an escaped penitent, and the chaos god, things are getting complicated. Lim picks up the loose threads from the earlier book and satisfyingly ties them up. Evie continues to grieve and ruminate on her relationship with her mother, and the book focuses on her grappling with ethics and the gray areas surrounding circumstances and decisions. Teaming up with new and old allies alike, Evie satisfyingly begins to come into her own beliefs and determine who she wants to be as a daughter, sister, friend, and Weaver.

An action-packed and thoughtful duology closer.(Fantasy. 9-12)
