A dark power rises, and red war rages. Amid the peril a young woman struggles with her destiny...

That woman is Fia. Born to a family of great magic, but to her shame with little of her own, she devotes herself to the sword. Trained by a brilliant outcast, she hones her skills to a razor's edge. But she wants more.

War at the realm's border explodes, hastening Fia's plan to join a legendary clan of female warriors. They are unsurpassed in battle, and mysteriously bond with animals to heighten their powers. The clan mistrusts outsiders though, and failure to pass their trials could be deadly.

And Fia discovers the clan has dark secrets. Nor are they alone, for she learns something about herself that shocks her. She has already bonded with an animal. An extraordinary event, and her magic, although different than her family's, is stronger than anyone guessed.

Yet sword and magic both seem no match for the terrible power of the rising dark...

Chains of Fear and Fury completes the Weavers of Destiny duology.
