Mother, Crone, Maiden

Knowing the future is not about knowing the future. It''s about knowing which path to take.

Ilven comes from a family of Saints—future-tellers—but she knows her father didn''t waste more than a few grains of the precious drug scriv to see her fate. Now she''s facing an arranged marriage to a man she''s never met. So, inhaling stolen scriv, she reads three possible futures for herself, searching for the path that will lead to her heart''s desire.
