Said the Spider

When Saffron travels home to abscond a stifling, plastic life, she meets an escapee from a local religious sect. Lark is sick, battered, and strangely disengaged from the real world. As Saffron nurses her back to health and introduces her to new possibilities, she reveals an extraordinary set of abilities and an unrestrained character.
But Lark has secrets even Saffron might not be able to accept.
