Description
Enter the enchanted land of the Tapestry, an exquisite wall-hanging fashioned long ago by a master weaver. His creative talent was such that he gifted his work with real life and it is animated every night from sun-down to sun-up. What adventures does it see?
Orphaned tragically, a young girl named Selina leaves her home and travels to serve a noblewoman who has her own sad history. The rumours say that her husband abandoned her because he could no longer bear to look at her face which had been disfigured in an accident and which she now hides behind a veil. Selina only sees a kindred spirit in the brief flashes of eyes behind the veil and is willing to obey Lady Isabella.
But nothing is ever as it seems and in a twist of fate, Selina discovers the truth: Lady Isabella's husband never ran into the night - he was lost to her on her wedding night as a result of a spell cast by an evil and jealous sorceress. Only one girl has the power to confront the sorceress and do battle with her for the release and reclamation of Lady Isabella's husband, body and soul.
Selina, it's time to accept your destiny.
