Cary Herwig

Like the Spider in the Middle of Her Web by Cary G. Osborne – I loved this story for several reasons: one, it’s a nicely crafted dark fairy tale about an arranged marriage for a princess and a handsome prince who has a secret, and two, the scene where the family spiders spin her wedding dress around the girl’s paralyzed body is beautiful and horrifying.

Cary Osborne certainly has the writer's gift! People behave like real people. I kept turning pages.and definitely want to read the book that tells what happens next.

For all of her life in the village of Sharvik, Magan has never believed in the gods. But when the golden idol of Iah is stolen by a mercenary army, she joins another warrior in tracking down the marauders and retrieving the idol. Finding Iah may be possible. Getting him back to his people is another thing entirely. Complicating matters, she and her companion begin to have strong feelings for one another. Will they find the god, but lose everything?

After 30 years, Iroshi and the Guild of the Glaive have new adventures. A younger generation may help to save the Glaive from enemies within.
