Publisher Description
“The itching distracted her, the stars that dusted the midnight skies distracted her, the moons rose and their beauty distracted her. She sighed.”
Against a background of failing states, magik and spirits, Coryn and Katleya lose all that they have and must flee all that they know. Coryn, protected by a cracked amulet, must find his sister and fulfil an oath. Katleya has only her wits and her knives to defend herself. Desperate to reach a haven where she can learn to use her power fully, Katleya uses her Wealdan to do little other than see the magical Wefan. But she is hunted by those who would use her for terrible purposes of their own.
A story as intricate and as powerful as any Weaving of the Wefan.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Watkinson kicks off a promising series with this winning first installment to the Wefan Weaves trilogy. Powers are shifting in Dumnon, a world where a pervasive energy called "wefan" is contained within the "weave," which is found throughout nature and the air itself. Only Wealdan-bearers, those who have the ability to tap into the weave, can see the wefan and use it. Young Coryn aef Arlean and Katleya aef Laeft leave their homes for different reasons: Coryn is determined to find his sister, Lera, who was taken as a toddler eight years ago by a mysterious woman who promised to protect the girl and gave Coryn a special cracked amulet for protection. Wealdan-bearer Katleya is trying to reach a haven where her talents can be nurtured and honed. However, bloodhunter-priests ravage the land and pursue Katleya, whose Wealdan blood is a potent elixir for them, forcing her to take refuge with a group of Wealdan healers. Coming across the group while searching for his sister, Coryn meets Katleya, and his amulet proves invaluable as bloodhunter-priests close in on them. Captivating characters, mythical creatures, and exciting battles make this a treat for fantasy readers. (BookLife)
