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. Their great prophecy foretells that Dark Lord Darvezian will fall to a band of misfits, led by a high priestess and armed with just their wits and the Light’s blessing.

But to reach the Dark Lord they will apparently need a spider. Though even the power of sorcery can’t disguise this grotesque creature’s true and appalling nature, nor its unwillingness to be part of their quest. As priestess, mage, knight, ranger and rogue (and spider) squabble their way through a perilous journey, they question who they can trust. For a mighty confrontation lies ahead, and it will change all their worlds for ever.

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.
