When Kira and Giselle arrive in the Legion Isles, they are both confronted with unexpected challenges. For Giselle, the decision she must make as part of the Quota will affect the rest of her life. For Kira, the decisions she makes will affect the entire land. Soon after arriving in Castle Vine, Kira is tricked into translating a book written in scriptor magicae, the secret language of sorcery, and discovers her ability to ' time-weave' via the silver thread. Travelling through the ink on the page to the moment the words were written, she witnesses the circumstances and conversations that shaped the text firsthand. At first delighted that her magic can be used for good, Kira soon faces a moral dilemma, since what she witnesses is not always transcribed accurately on the page. Deliberately so. Should she reveal what truly happened, even if it shatters cherished beliefs and puts lives at risk, including her own? Or should some secrets remain buried in the pages? Kira's decisions are put to the test when she travels to The Weald to recover the Crown of Unity. In the ancient forest kingdom, she learns more about her magical heritage, but as a result, faces a far greater danger than she ever has before. Confronted by the malde-mage, Salaxis, Kira must risk her life to save the crown and protect the people she loves. Is truth worth the heartache? Magic, mystery and moral choices, The Silver Thread is the compelling second instalment in the Tangler's Web trilogy.
