The final part of the critically acclaimed Braided Path trilogy.

The war that is tearing apart the ancient Empire of Saramyr is reaching its apocalyptic conclusion. The Weavers have stepped from the shadows and taken control, the capital is a demon-haunted nightmare, the land ridden by pestilence. New, terrifying demons, immune to all but magic, have been unleashed on the cities and armies of the resistance movement. And the Aberrant hordes are seemingly without end.

As the madness of the weavers takes hold their tactics become even more crazed and bloody, and thousands are dying on both sides. Someone must stop the weavers, someone must discover the secrets of what lies at the bottom of the massive pits they have dug across Saramyr.

This is the final volume of what has proved to be one of the most original, exotic and exciting epic fantasies of the 21st century. Chris Wooding melds an extraordinary imagination with deft characterisation and a flair for gripping plots.

Chris Wooding

Chris Wooding is a British author who effortlessly blends fantasy, science fiction, and dystopian themes to create thought-provoking, emotionally charged narratives. Known for his imaginative worlds and richly crafted characters, Wooding has a unique ability to transport readers to realms where the boundaries between good and evil, reality and illusion, are often blurred.

Growing up in the UK, Wooding developed a love for storytelling early on, influenced by a wide range of genres, from the dark and gritty to the fantastical. His childhood imagination was fueled by a fascination with both the human condition and the unknown. As an author, he has honed this curiosity into a distinctive writing style that challenges readers while keeping them on the edge of their seats.

Wooding’s books are often set in worlds that are as complex and unpredictable as the characters that inhabit them. His works—ranging from young adult fantasy to science fiction—explore themes of identity, survival, and the moral choices that define us. His Kithamar series, for example, delves into a world of complex politics and intricate magic, while his Tales of the Ketty Jay series offers swashbuckling adventures, steampunk flair, and a deeper exploration of loyalty, redemption, and what it means to find a family in the most unlikely places.

A master of blending the personal with the epic, Wooding’s novels always explore the delicate balance between individual desires and larger societal forces, offering readers more than just action-packed plots. His writing is a reflection of his curiosity about the intricacies of human nature, and his characters are often thrown into situations that demand difficult decisions, forcing them to grow in ways that are both painful and rewarding.

Whether he’s writing about unlikely heroes navigating fractured worlds or crafting deep, philosophical narratives about what it means to be human, Wooding’s storytelling never fails to engage, challenge, and inspire his audience. Each of his books provides an invitation to experience a new universe, one filled with wonder, danger, and the emotional depth that makes his stories truly unforgettable.
