Publisher's summary

The second book in the acclaimed fantasy trilogy.

The grip of the Weavers on Saramyr's rulers has grown ever tighter. And all the while the blight that they have brought to the land grips ever more harshly. This cannot last and, sure enough, the land is slipping into civil war.

In the growing chaos Kaiku and the orphaned heir-Empress must fight for their destiny and their survival as Saramyr succumbs to the twisting of the Weave and the unknowable ambitions of the secretive Weavers.

Chris Wooding has created a vivid and turbulent world with an authentic oriental air and its own rich and ancient history. Across this world plays an action packed plot of politics, violence and betrayal. This is an extraordinary fantasy for the 21st century.

Good second step!

I enjoyed the interplay between Kaiku and 'Ashara' this was well executed. the plot twists and the way it all came together at the end was fun.

Sometimes the variety of mutated animal monsters got confusing, and in this audible rendition, it felt like the POV got muddy or skipped about, but I wondered if scenes changed and since I never saw a page break I missed something.

The narrator struggles with male voices but is still enjoyable.

I enjoyed it and plan to finish the series!
