I have been a huge fan of this author since reading "The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray", which was followed by the wonderful "Poison".......but with this book he has excelled himself. It is a wonderfully imaginative story in a fantasy world which is on a par with anything dreamt up by Tolkien or Pullman - absolutley staggering! This is part 1 of a trilogy, to be known as The Braided Path.
To quote...."The Empire of Saramyr is pure. The Weavers have ensured that. No Aberrant child can be suffered to live. Their twisted, unnatural powers are simply too dangerous to be given free rein in the world.
In noble houses across the land, the Weavers don their masks and send their silent messages across the Weave, binding the high families together. The Weavers are indispensible, the last bastion against the evil that threatens to taint their vast empire.
Until the Empress' own Weaver discovers that the daughter of the Empress is an Aberrant herself.
Noble and peasant alike will not abide being ruled by such a monstrosity. The country stirs uneasiil towards civil war as the high families vie for the succession. But the Empress is determined to see her child on the throne, Aberrant or not.....
And hundreds of miles away from the imperial city, a young woman's family is murdered in the night. In tracing thise responsible for the slaughter, she becomes caught up in the web of treachery stretching across the land.
While all the time, her dreams of fire threaten to become real...."
