Wefan is leaking from the world, and the blood-priests of the oppressive god Murak rise again to bring war to the lands of Dumnon. They search for those with Wealdan in their blood, for this gives them power. Power to twist, to alter and control, and ultimately to gain yet more power. In horrifying blood-rites practised on both humans and creatures, they gorge on the blood of innocents, destroying farms and families, conquering swathes of territory and gaining new followers. But not all Wealdan-infused blood carries the same intoxicating fuel. The blood-priests seek one above all others. Against a background of failing states, magik and spirits, Coryn and Katleya lose all that they have and must flee all that they know. Coryn, protected by a cracked amulet, must find his sister and fulfil an oath. Katleya has only her wits and her knives to defend herself. Desperate to reach a haven where she can learn to use her power fully, Katleya uses her Wealdan to do little other than see the Wefan. But she is hunted by those who would use her for terrible purposes of their own. A story as intricate and as powerful as any Weaving of the Wefan.

Industry Reviews

A wide ranging fantasy tale … bags of imagination on display … strongest in its world building and magic …

Mark Lawrence, author of the Broken Empire Trilogy, the Red Queen’s War Trilogy, the Book of the Ancestor Trilogy.

There are some exciting scenes, battles and fights and the magic is interesting - there is more to it than at first you realise.

G.R. Matthews, author of the Corin Hayes series.

Watkinson has great fun with the world-building and the tropes of epic fantasy. With The Cracked Amulet she writes a series opener that recalls the scope, breadth and darkness of Tad Williams and JV Jones.

Steven Poore, author of The Heir to the North Duology

Watkinson kicks off a promising series with this winning first instalment to the Wefan Weaves trilogy ... Captivating characters, mythical creatures, and exciting battles make this a treat for fantasy readers.
