WHISTLERS AND WEAVERS BOOK 1: A KINGDOM WITHOUT SONG It's been more than 500 years since the unification of the Astrellan Empire, but unseen forces threaten the balance of power among the nine provinces. In the great capital of Corstella, an emperor goes mad while his daughter struggles to come to grips with her ascendancy, an amateur heist sets in motion a deep conspiracy, and a visitor warns of an impending extinction that could lead to the complete collapse of natural order across the continent. Meanwhile, in the neighboring Kingdom of Sa-Fira, warring bloodlines fight to maintain control over their people in the face of a seemingly endless drought and decades of military occupation. Two heirs--one believed dead and the other relegated to a life of obscurity--will change everything, but will it be for better or for worse?
