'Weaveworld' is an epic adventure of the imagination. It begins with a carpet in which a world of rapture and enchantment is hiding in a world which comes back to life,alerting the dark forces from which it was hiding, and beginning a desperate battle to preserve the last vestiges of magic which Humankind still has access to. Mysteriously drawn by the carpet and into the world it represents are Cal Mooney and Suzanna Parrish,two young people with no knowledge of what they are about to live through and confront.For the final conflict between the forces of good - the Seerkind - and of evil,embodied by the terrible Immacolata and her ravening twin wraith sisters,is about to take place. 'Weaveworld' is a book of visions and horrors,as real as the world we live and breathe in,yet opening doors to experience,places and people that we all dream of,but daren't hope are real.It is a story of quest,of titanic struggles,of love and of hope.It is a triumph of imagination and storytelling,an adventure,a nightmare, a promise . . .
