Although she is the daughter of a witch and sister to a man
whose misguided goal was to destroy the world by magic,
Sarah seemingly has no magic of her own. What she can do is
see the spells of others. Once a closely guarded secret,
now her talent is known to a small group who want to
possess her and use her for their own evil ends. Sarah
believes the Nine Kingdoms have had enough of mages and
their interference into the lives of plain folk and wants
nothing more to do with magic makers, most especially a
magic maker who has put her in danger's path more times
than she cares to count and has lied to her outrageously
from the very beginning of their relationship, Ruith.
Ruith, or Ruithneadh of Ceangail as he is known to his
family, is the youngest son of one of the most powerful and
malevolent mages to ever plague the Nine Kingdoms. Ruith
has long turned his back on his power, but now faces his
magic and vows to follow the trail of his father's spells,
no matter where it leads him. He has every intention of
doing this without Sarah by his side. He has put her at
death's door often enough and done and said things to her
he can only regret.
But fate has other plans for the pair. As they continue on
their journey, they face not only physical and hardship,
but their hearts and souls are in jeopardy as well. Their
quest becomes not only a fight for the fate of the Nine
Kingdoms, but also a look into their families' most closely
guarded secrets as both come to realize they must live up
to the high mark destiny has set for them.
Kurland's flowing prose combined with a strong multi-book
story arc and complex, evolving characters come together to
make SPELLWEAVER one of the strongest fantasy novels
welcoming in the new year.
The New York Times
bestselling author returns
to the Nine Kingdoms for
another spellbinding story of
magical romance.
Ruith had long managed to ignore the magic in
his veins, until aiding Sarah with her ill-fated quest
forced him into places where his heritage was
impossible to deny. Faced with an ever-increasing
number of enemies who covet his power, Ruith
must accept his birthright and gather his father’s
spells together so he can destroy them—or turn
away and allow his father’s evil to overcome the
Nine Kingdoms.
Now, Ruith and Sarah must rely on each other more
than ever—for everything they value is at risk: the
Nine Kingdoms, their lives...and their hearts.
