I've read it repeatedly over the years since it first came out with may be my problem with the narrator, but more about that below. Wells does a great job in creating her worlds and populating them with interesting characters and creatures. This is absolutely one of my favorite fantasy novels.
Now, in the company of Rian - a skilled and dangerously alluring swordsman - she must confront dread enemies old and new and a cold, stalking malevolence unlike any she has ever encountered. Once she was the most revered of the Voices, until cursed by her own actions. With chaos in the wind, a woman with a shadowy past has returned to Duvalpore.Ī murderer and traitor - an exile disgraced, hated, and feared, and haunted by her own guilty conscience - Maskelle has been summoned back to help put the world right. Each morning the storm reappears, bigger and darker than before, unraveling the beautiful and orderly patterns. Every night the Voices of the Ancestors - the Wheel's constructors and caretakers - brush the darkness away and repair the damage with brightly colored sands and potent magic. But a black storm is spreading across the Wheel. Should the holy image be marred, the world will suffer a similar injury. Linked by the mystic energies of the Infinite, the Wheel and world are one. For it is then that the very fabric of the world must be rewoven. Every hundred years the sacred rite takes on added significance. Every year in the great Temple City of Duvalpore, the image of the Wheel of the Infinite must be painstakingly remade to ensure another year of peace and harmony for the Celestial Empire.
