About this ebook

A 2018 TEXAS LONE STAR READING LIST PICK!

"A rare jewel. A new classic in the fantasy genre." —Eoin Colfer, author of the bestselling Artemis Fowl series

Henry H. Neff’s new high-stakes middle grade fantasy follows two unlikely allies as they confront a conspiracy that will shake the world of Impyrium to its core.

For over three thousand years, the Faeregine dynasty has ruled Impyrium. But the family’s magic has been fading, and with it their power over the empire. Whether it’s treachery from a rival house, the demon Lirlanders, or rebel forces, many believe the Faeregines are ripe to fall.

Hazel, the youngest member of the royal family, is happy to leave ruling to her sisters so that she can study her magic. But the empress has other plans for her granddaughter, dark and dangerous plans to exploit Hazel’s talents and rekindle the Faeregine mystique. Hob, a commoner from the remote provinces, has been sent to the city to serve the Faeregines—and to spy on them.

One wants to protect the dynasty. The other wants to destroy it. But when Hazel and Hob form an improbable friendship, their bond may save the realm as they know it…or end it for good.

Ratings and reviews

And I wasn't disappointed. Given, it was a short one, I think that was my favorite part. In general the book was great, a lot of World building going on. The story picks up speed past page 100 and there is some action throughout, but way less than in any of the tapestry books. Anyway, this book is a nice set up for the next one and hopefully we will encounter more familiar faces from the tapestry books or even visit a certain world with a certain king. :P

Another excellent story - it works well on its own, but I hope there will be more to this tale!!

This was an awesome sequel to the Tapestry I can't wait two read the next book !
