Spiderlight

Allies will become enemies.
Enemies will become allies.
And the Dark Lord is waiting.

The church of Armes of the Light has long fought the forces of Darkness. Its great prophecy dictates that Dark Lord Darvezian will fall to a band of misfits, led by a priestess and armed with their wits - and the Light's blessing.

But to reach the Dark Lord via the 'spider's path', as the prophecy states, they'll need a spider. They'll discover that not even the power of sorcery can disguise the grotesque creature's true and appalling nature, nor its unwillingness to be part of their quest.

As priestess, mage, knight, ranger, and rogue squabble their way through a journey fraught with peril, they question whether the creature Nth is a monster, a tool or a friend. Ahead lies a mighty confrontation. If they can survive it, it will change all their worlds forever.

Spiderlight is an exhilarating fantasy quest from Adrian Tchaikovsky, the author of Children of Time, Guns of the Dawn and the Shadows of the Apt series.
