But the power of their friendship and the power of narrative and the multiverse turn out to be a whole lot stronger than either Zinnia or Charm could possibly have imagined. Her best friend Charm is determined to give Zinnia the full Disney Princess Sleeping Beauty experience, complete with crumbling castle and defective spinning wheel.
She has an incurable disease that is going to take away all the birthdays after this one. Zinnia would be happy to sleep for a century if she could wake up and be healthy, with all of her loved ones around her. Sleeping Beauty went to sleep, and when she woke up her curse was broken and all was well. For her, Sleeping Beauty is more than a myth or a fairy tale. And it’s about the power of sisterhood and friendship that helps them to break free. But when Zinnia pricks her finger, something strange and unexpected happens, and she finds herself falling through worlds, with another sleeping beauty, just as desperate to escape her fate.Ī Spindle Splintered is about the power of narrative to shape and warp people’s lives. Her best friend Charm is intent on making Zinnia's last birthday special with a full sleeping beauty experience, complete with a tower and a spinning wheel. Not much is known about her illness, just that no one has lived past twenty-one. When she was young, an industrial accident left Zinnia with a rare condition. It's Zinnia Gray's twenty-first birthday, which is extra-special because it's the last birthday she'll ever have. Harrow's A Spindle Splintered brings her patented charm to a new version of a classic story. Purchasing Info: Author's Website, Publisher's Website, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo,
