The Weaver in the Vault

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The king of Tasuun has given three of his soldiers an errand that no man would choose: ride into the desert, find the ruined necropolis of Chaon Gacca, and bring back the mummy of an ancient monarch from the vaults beneath it.

The city has been dead for centuries. The stairways descend farther than any of them expected. And in the lowest crypt, where the lamplight fails, something is waiting that has kept these tombs long after the last mourner departed.

It does not hunt. It does not devour. It weaves.

A masterpiece of Smith's Zothique cycle, set on the final continent of a dying earth beneath a reddening sun. Baroque, merciless, and unforgettable.
