Description
Spiderlight is an exhilarating fantasy quest from Arthur C. Clarke Award winner Adrian Tchaikovsky, the author of Children of Time, Guns at Dawn and the Shadows of the Apt series.
The Church of Armes of the Light has battled the forces of Darkness for as long as anyone can remember. The great prophecy has foretold that a band of misfits, led by a high priestess will defeat the Dark Lord Darvezian, armed with their wits, the blessing of the Light and an artifact stolen from the merciless Spider Queen.
Their journey will be long, hard and fraught with danger. Allies will become enemies; enemies will become allies. And the Dark Lord will be waiting, always waiting . . .
