Synopsis
📘 Web of Destiny
Book One of the East End Lass Series
By Sigrid Lunde, bestselling author of The Midwife
She’s been told to stay quiet. She’s learned to hide. But the truth has a way of finding its voice.
In the shadowed backstreets of 1910s Kristiania—what we now call Oslo—young Marie Charlotte Jensen lives a life ruled by silence and routine. Raised by a strict guardian who treats her more like a servant than a child, Marie scrubs floors, follows orders, and learns to disappear.
But Marie sees what others don’t. Her imagination is bold, her stories bright—and somewhere in those whispered daydreams lie clues about who she truly is.
Who was her father?
Why is the elegant and mysterious Mamsell suddenly watching her so closely?
As the fog of half-remembered names and hidden truths begins to lift, Marie finds herself caught between the life she knows and the one she’s only just begun to dream about. One step at a time, she uncovers a past long buried—and a future she may have to fight for.
She may be small, but she is not powerless.
She may be afraid, but she is far from broken.
A Rich and Moving Historical Journey Begins…
Web of Destiny is the powerful first volume in East End Lass, a sweeping sixteen-book saga tracing Marie’s life from childhood to adulthood, from dusty backrooms to elegant halls, and from silence to strength.
If you love character-driven historical fiction filled with heart, courage, and vivid storytelling, Marie’s story will stay with you long after the final page.
