Book Description

Series: The Braided Path series | Publication Date: May 1, 2006

The war that is destroying the ancient Empire of Saramyr is reaching its apocalyptic conclusion. The Weavers have stepped from the shadows and seized control, the capital is a haunted nightmare, and the land is ridden by pestilence. Terrifying demons, immune to all but magic, have been unleashed on the cities and the armies of the resistance movement. And the Aberrant hordes are seemingly without end. As the final madness of the Weavers takes hold, their tactics become ever more crazed and bloody, with thousands dying on both sides. Someone must stop the Weavers—someone must discover what lies at the bottom of the cavernous pits that they have dug across Saramyr.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A mixture of the schlock world of Clive Barker and the more widescreen playground of Tolkien. Very well written and packed full of imagination." DREAMWATCH --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: The Ascendancy Veil (The Braided Path series) (Bk. 3) (Paperback)

This is the 3rd book in the series, and the ending is just awesome. He closes out the story with the hint of something bigger coing in the future. He closes all plot points, and the characters issues.
I really enjoyed the entire series, and it is well worth the investment in time for you to read it.

This review is from: The Ascendancy Veil (The Braided Path series) (Paperback)

This book could stand alone but is certainly an integral part of the finely done Braided Path series. Replent with fascinating, colorful characters, the world within is one of wonder with different life forms and spirits with multi perceptions, cultures and responses to change and the unexpected. What a gem and no doubt the work of a multifaceted, creative mind with innocuous touches of a fine madness. This and the rest of the series have characters and settings that are in constant movement and change with mixes of new dimensions and turns of event that leave the reader wanting for more.
