In the Kingdom of Otoppon, where prestige relies upon the pageantry of the rites, one rank-less weaver holds the key to the spectacle of power. An artist, Furi's command over silk approaches the supernatural. And powerful people have noticed. As her reputation grows, political enemies scramble to control her. Friendless, and without family, she gives the appearance of breathtaking fragility. But appearances are deceiving. Only one stranger knows the full extent of Furi's capacity. Shin enters her life as though descended from the gods, and awakens her to powers both breathtaking...and brutal. When the gods set their traps, Furi must determine whether she is their target, or simply the lure at the center of a celestial snare... Shin is a speculative novel with a second generation twist on Japan's traditional Tanabata tale with the subtle cerebral quality of a psychological thriller. "A master at weaving pictures with words and storytelling. Everything was precise, nothing was out of place and even the most minor details added more to the story. I am in awe of Taya Cook's abilities to create magic with her words, make it believable, and allow the reader to lose themselves in the pages for some time. Intricate and entertaining."
