Synopsis

When an antique bridal quilt comes into her hands, craftswoman Rachel Grant feels that she is being influenced somehow by powers beyond her control. The influence is certainly supernatural but not, as she first believed, harmless white magic - it is malevolent and aims to destroy her.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When an antique bridal quilt appears under mysterious circumstances at the vintage clothing shop where Rachel Grant works, she is fascinated. She has never been able to resist handmade textiles from the past, for she believes that through the ages, women wove protective magic into their fabrics in order to mark the important events of their lives: birth, marriage, and death.

But there is more than good in the quilt's magic power. Day by day Rachel sees and feels the power growing, as she senses the quilt influencing her thoughts and actions. Much as Rachel's logical mind longs to deny the supernatural, the aura of evil coming from the quilt is terrifyingly real, and it seems to carry a sinister legacy into the lives of the people Rachel loves.
