Synopsis

The second book in the acclaimed new 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.

Goodreads review by Lee

Now have that book three commitment dilemma. Book one held my attention enough to launch into book two. But The Skein of Lament barely kept my attention. In fact the middle half of the book I struggled to keep going. I forced myself to read at least a chapter a day, even as I write this, it is becom......more
