Dark Star Trilogy Tome 2 - Grand Format

At the center of this fantastically inventive novel is Sogolon, a fearless and resourceful woman who remembers. Mocked and battered as a child, she is drawn into life as a servant at the royal court, where she learns that power is the ultimate goal. She comes to know Kerne, a royal scout, and because of him learns to harness her rage and her passion and becomes the Moon Witch. As the Moon Witch, Sogolon is a match for anyone, including the Aesi, chancellor to the king, and Tracker, a mercenary she traveled with in Black Leopard, Red Wolf.
As Moon Witch, Spider King unfolds, it becomes clear that Sogolon sees the search for a mysterious boy at the center of Black Leopard, Red Wolf very differently than Tracker does. And her own storyis so much more than that : She confronts new adversaries, suffers unexpected joy and unbearable loss, and comes to realize that truth is a matter of opinion. By turns sweeping and intimate, epic and human, and drawing from African myth and mythology, Moon Witch, Spider King is both brilliant fantasy and the gripping story ofawoman who will risk everything to live on her terms.
