The Blood Curse

Clio thought she was helping her brother save their kingdom. Instead, she set off a chain of events that will lead to its downfall-and the ruin of all magic. She must find Bastian and take the shadow weave back before he unleashes it, but the mere thought of confronting him after learning about his lies and betrayals is unbearable. Actually defeating him will be impossible. Lyre is painfully aware that his creation has fallen into dangerous hands. But even as he and Clio race to recover it, he knows a far worse danger is closing in. Lyceus has joined the hunt for his rebel son, and there's nowhere in the realms Lyre can hide. If he's going to survive, he'll have to face his father. And when he does, he'll need a weaving more sinister than anything he's created before to win against the deadliest weaver alive. Their enemies are powerful, but Lyre and Clio are only just beginning to realize how dangerous a master weaver and a mimic together could become. If they can combine their strength, they might have a chance. If they fail, the realms will pay the price. -- Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the best-selling Steel & Stone series, the second edition of The Blood Curse features a revised story and new cover.
