The Spinner’s Game series by Crispina Kemp (#2-5)

Overview: For the more mundane minded: As a shy child with a speech problem, the written word came as a release, enabling me to express myself without being asked, ‘Eh? What did you say? Say again?’ I wrote my first ‘proper’ story when I was nine. A gothic offering to scare my friends. Since then, there’s been scarcely a day when I haven’t been busy writing. Novels. The short story form doesn’t appeal to me, although over recent months I have posted micro-fiction on my website. In my early teens, I visited Grimes Graves, the Neolithic flint mines in Breckland, Norfolk. The following summer, I visited Stonehenge in Wiltshire. And thus began a lifelong interest in the archaeology of prehistory. The study of myths and legends seemed a natural progression, and thus on to linguistics (despite my inability to pronounce the words). Resident in Norfolk where my roots dig deep, my regular rambles into the surrounding countryside provides balance to the cerebral… and ample subjects for my camera.

2. Lake of Dreams
Powerful visions… but can their dreams reveal the truth of Kerrid’s fantastical origins? In the first book of The Spinner’s Game, Kerrid explored and developed her powers, gained a glimmering of what she might be, discovered the source of the accusatory voice, and worked to transform her status to that of a genuine shamanic wise-woman, able to enter the Spinner’s Otherworld Web. At the last, the Spinner tasked her with the eradication of Neka, the snake-demon. To do this she must understand the cause and the source of their Asaric nature. The eldest of Gimmerin’s Asaric brothers also wishes to discover this source. But to join his quest Kerrid must gain the approval of all the brothers, hindered by Gimmerin’s repeated efforts to undermine her, and the strange pull she feels to the second-born brother, Jiar.
3. The Pole That Threads
Alone in an odyssey of fire and ice, Kerrid tries to find a way home. Kerrid has discovered the Asars are banished divines. Now to regain their divine heights she seeks the Pole that Threads the Worlds, for in that high place resides the demon Neka, which the Spinner has tasked her to eradicate. No longer with her wed-man, Kerrid ventures alone on a journey that takes her to the western shore of the Boundless Sea and into the frozen wastes of the north. Along the way, she encounters a delusional Asar with a burning lust for her, a trickster heron, and a knowing-man who loves her. Can Kerrid navigate these treacherous waters to succeed in her task?
4. Lady of First Making
In a story that keeps you guessing, Kerrid combines her quest with the tribulations of motherhood. Tasked to eradicate the snake-demon Neka, shamanic wise-woman Kerrid believes that first she and her friends must regain their divine world from which they were banished. But unable to use the pole she sought in the north, how is she to gain it? There are holes in the sky; one sits above Black Mother Mountain in Gushan, land of her birth. If she returns there, climbs the mountain… but to gain it she faces three obstacles. Her sister has forbidden her access to Gushan. That same sister is the keeper of the demon Neka in physical snake-form. And that demon is determined to kill everyone she loves. She now has a child. How is she to protect her infant and yet complete her task?
5. The Spinner’s Sin
The culmination of Kerrid’s journey from young inexperienced chancer to the leader of a nation. Faced with a flood of refugees, Kerrid leads her people south in search of new land, only to find people are everywhere. The only unoccupied land lies in the grasp of a mysterious Asar known as the Qar of Lohanit with whom she must bargain if she is to complete her plan to regain her divine world and eradicate the snake-demon Neka. Who is this Qar of Lohanit? What hold has he over her? And what is his connection to the Southern Lord, an ally of the demon, whose murderous host is slaughtering the peoples of the eastern lands? Kerrid must face the consequences of two broken oaths. And if she doesn’t make amends, humanity will die. The lines are drawn, the prize is Humankind.
