About This Book

The magical world Alexandra Scarsdale visited in Colors in the Dreamweaver's Loom is in trouble. The fabric of Fate is in danger of unraveling, and it will only get worse as the Feast of the Trickster draws near, and that malicious goddess comes into her full power. The Weaver knows the Trickster must be stopped, but the only person capable of doing that is Zan—Alexandra Scarsdale, a young college student whose life color is already woven into the Loom.
Five companion—a Minstrel, a Swordswoman, a Shapeshifter, a Prophet, and a Heartmender—are sent to Earth to find Zan and bring her back to their world. The Trickster, aware of the plan, also goes to Earth to locate Zan and keep the Five from her. An intense and sometimes comic series of adventures ensues as the Five and the Trickster attempt to find their way among the strange people and customs of New England. The Five are helped by a group of Vermont teenagers, while the Trickster is aided by a Boston psychiatrist who thinks he's found his most challenging case. But the greatest contest is still ahead when Zan, once found, has to make a decision that could change the pattern of the Loom forever.
This satisfying sequel to Colors in the Dreamweaver's Loom is full of fascinating characters, climactic conflicts, and emotional entanglements. The idea of Fate being woven with various strands is a vivid image, and the struggle to keep this fabric from unraveling becomes an epic adventure.
