Tanwen doesn’t just tell stories—she weaves them into crystallized sculptures that sell for more
than a few bits. But the only way to escape the control of her cruel mentor and claw her way
from poverty is to set her sights on something grander: becoming Royal Storyteller to the king.
During her final story peddling tour, a tale of treason spills from her hands, threatening the king
himself. Tanwen goes from peddler to prey as the king’s guard hunts her down . . . and they’re
not known for their mercy. As Tanwen flees for her life, she unearths long-buried secrets and
discovers she’s not the only outlaw in the empire. There’s a rebel group of weavers . . . and
they’re after her too.

MY REVIEW
What a fantastic story filled with danger, imagination and a place where anything can happen. The brilliance of the author’s sheer ability to take readers on a journey to an unknown world is awesome. The characters come alive and I loved the idea of storytelling. I loved being at school and listening to my teacher read stories that took my breath away. I could escape into the book for awhile and be part of another place. This book is perfect for the adventurer in all of us.
There is something so mystical about knights, danger and a story that turns Tanwen into something of a threat when the story doesn’t go as planned. I loved the creativity of colors and how Tanwen captured peoples attention. What happens when a story she knows by heart is told differently? Will the king cause her harm? Most intriguing was , what happened to her parents? The author weaves a tale of fantasy and teaches us lessons about truth.
I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
