This Body of Stars TPB

No future, dear reader, can break a woman on its own A bold and dazzling exploration of fate and female agency in a world where women own the future but not their own bodies. Like every woman, Celeste Morton holds a map of the future in her skin, every mole and freckle a clue to unlocking what will come to pass. With puberty comes the changeling period - when her final marks will appear and her future is decided. The possibilities are tantalising enough for Celeste´s excitement to outweigh her fear. Changelings are sought after commodities and abduction is rife as men seek to possess these futures for themselves. Celeste´s marks have always been closely entwined with her brother, Miles. Her skin holds a future only he, as a gifted interpreter, can read and he has always considered his sister his practice ground. But when Celeste´s marks change she learns a devastating secret about her brother´s future that she must keep to herself - and Miles is keeping a secret of his own. When the lies of brother and sister collide, Celeste determines to create a future that is truly her own. Body of Stars is an urgent read about what happens when women are objectified and violently stripped of choice - and what happens when they fight back.
