Thanks to her rare genetic condition, her death is inescapable, and as she explains to people who ask her about future plans, she’s just running out the clock.īecause of her condition, Zinnia has tried to accelerate as much of her life as she can, finishing high school and then college early, getting a degree in folklore, never forgetting that for all her life, she’s been in the process of dying.
In A Spindle Splintered, we meet Zinnia Gray on the cusp of what she’s sure will be her last birthday. THIS is the way to write a novella - short, sweet, spare, and totally on point. Harrow’s A Spindle Splintered brings her patented charm to a new version of a classic story. 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.
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.
