The Weavers of Paths: Book Three of The Masters That Be

Spring is here, and there is a hint of summer in the air, but it is not a hint of warmth and abundance. All that people expect these days is failed factories and heavy rains splashing over Mierber's broken and filthy streets, newly spoiled grain, and famine.

Heartened by their Stratagem success and their new relationship, Rianor and Linden attempt to save themselves and their House through science. When they barely survive an encounter with the Bers, they start preparing for war.

Meanwhile, in one of Mierber's less savory neighborhoods, Dominick is about to take the Order of the Mother to Balkaene despite his hatred towards the place. Besides, in old Darius's tower and in the Firemind, Merley is making hard choices that she knows will change the whole world.
