With an address in hand, I set off to find my destined love, but nothing goes as planned. A visit with the Thread Reader is supposed to make finding love easy, but when faced with the reality of meeting someone I'm supposed to love on sight, I chicken out and run in the opposite direction. Now I'm in an unfamiliar town with three days off from my job as a waitress. Making the best of my situation, I set out to explore Shrieve Port, if only I could dodge the misfortune that has plagued my steps since the minute I step off the ferry. Along the way, I meet a man who I feel an instant and bewildering connection to. Fate seems to throw him into my path at every turn, making me question destiny. Can I risk my heart to love someone not meant for me, or will I play it safe and return home to my lonely life?
