The Weavers of Saramyr

A richly textured, darkly evocative fantasy set in a beautifully realised fantasy world, the Saramyr trilogy tell the story of an empire that rules over a land being overwhelmed by evil.An evil that comes from within the empire's centre, a sect of magicians close to the throne intent on killing any child born with magical powers. But now the empress has given birth to just such a child and revolution is brewing. Akin to the works of Robin Hobb this is a hugely involving fantasy set in a world with an enticing oriental flavour.
