Once again safe at home, Emma clings to the comfort of family and tries to put the fright of the Banderwigh behind her—but deeds, even good ones, often have consequences.
With a new reality of spirits and magic open to her, Emma feels a strong connection to Widowswood. She means to make good on her promise to the Spider Queen, bringing a monthly supply of silk in trade so humans cease their trespass upon the forest.
A guild of thieves infiltrates the quiet town, lured by the incredible value of spidersilk flowing so freely from the forest. At first, they don’t believe the source is a ten-year-old girl, but once they learn, they’ll do anything to control her.
Stuck between protecting her family or protecting her forest, Emma draws courage from her grandmother’s stories and makes a choice—that could cost her life.
Jan’s Review
The great thing about this series is not a lot of time passes between the books and the story takes a central theme that is pretty easy to figure out where the adventure is going to go. Also it pretty central that you need to read the previous book to kind of be able to place your self in the story. In the first book Emma makes a pretty impressive promise that she needs to keep to the emerald spiders which are located in the scary ass hell forest that she barely escaped from in the first book. True to her word she heads out and she has to help and face her fears of spiders to fulfill this promise. I love that the author is able to keep you entranced and caught up in the story to the point where you forget what else is going on you just want to keep seeing how the story is going to unfold.
