Features
From Publishers Weekly
Charming, romantic, and verging on the wistfully sweet, Kurland's PG-rated paranormal serves as a strong start to a new series. Ruith has carefully cultivated a reputation as a terrifying wizard despite having personally renounced magic, but his fierceness isn't enough to stop Sarah of Doire, a witch's daughter who has no magic, from asking him to help fight her brother, Daniel, who has decided to destroy the Nine Kingdoms with dark magic that once belonged to Ruith's father. Pretense, reputation, and generational guilt provide powerful motivation to stop the diabolic Daniel, who has more intention than ability. Can Sarah and Ruith stop him without letting each other in on their closely guarded secrets? Kurland deftly mixes innocent romance with adventure in a tale that will leave readers eager for the next installment. (Jan.)

A wonderful new beginning!
By Katie Mc P
First, since some confusion exists regarding the progression of the Nine Kingdom's books, here's a current list (as of Jan '15):
Two Prelude short stories, found in anthologies with other authors:
- The Queen in Winter ("A Whisper of Spring" when Symon, the first king of Neroche, woos and wins Iolaire, princess of Ainneamh)
- To Weave a Web of Magic ("The Tale of Two Swords" where Mehar of Angesand and Gilraehen, --th king of Neroche, fall in love and the legendary sword of Angesand is forged.)
Miach and Morgan's story is told in:
1- Star of the Morning (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 1)
2- The Mage's Daughter (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 2)
3- Princess of the Sword (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 3)
Ruith and Sarah's story (which OVERLAPS Miach and Morgan's story in the timeline) is told in:
4- A Tapestry of Spells (this book)
5- Spellweaver (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 5)
6- Gift of Magic (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 6)
Runach and Aisling's story is being told in:
7- Dreamspinner (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 7)
8- River of Dreams (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 8)
9- Dreamer's Daughter (The Nine Kingdoms, Book 9)
Ruithneadh, or Ruith as he is called, is the youngest of Morgan's older brothers as well as the once-boyhood-friend of Miach. (Miach and Morgan being the heroes in the first trilogy.) In those books, Ruith was presumed dead, but there was no proof. A Tapestry of Spells is the first in a new trilogy telling his story.
After a prologue which describes the terrible events at the well, Ruith was so horrified by what his father did and so mistrustful of himself, his temper, and his own power that he buried all three near Diore, a village which "lay to the south in the county of Shettlestoune, which found itself comfortably to the south of anywhere else." And there they stayed buried...until the very pretty and fiery and mysterious Sarah comes along. To make things even more uncomfortable for him, the silvery ribbon of fate that accompanies her is colored with both the beautiful elvin colors and magic of his Fadairian heritage, but also the darkness embraced by his father, the infamous (and thankfully dead) Gair of Caingail.
Sarah has been carefully hiding both secrets and gold toward the day when she can escape Doire and make a life somewhere without thieves and thorns and everything else that Doire is filled with. She'd rather weave her patterns of beauty in the kingdom of Neroche, or possible Meith, and hopefully begin the trip there before her brother brings his evil magic home again. But Daniel arrives with more than she'd bargained for, forcing her to abandon her carefully laid plans and set out to stop him instead.
The result is a quest led by a woman who doesn't seem to have magic, though she does have the steadily-increasing ability to see magic that others have wrought...guarded by a mage hiding vast amounts of elvin power and his past behind a heavy cloak and every non-magical weapon available...and accompanied by the extremely odd assortment of companions they pick up along the way. Their aim at first is merely to stop Sarah's brother, but it isn't too long before we discover that Gair of Caingail's reach extends beyond the grave, and only Sarah's sight and Ruith's knowledge of his father are capable of stopping the evil that Gair's spells have planted.
Why do I love it? Well...though some might call it a bit slow in places, it is (as all of Lynn Kurland's books are) a beautiful unfolding of characters and relationships, as well as a careful weaving of a tale that must have all of its anchoring threads in place for the beauty and power of it to be shown. It's intriguing to discover that this story actually takes place WHILE Star of the Morning and The Mage's Daughter are happening.
A Tapestry of Spells is also nicely different from the first trilogy. Ruith is not just another Miach, Sosar, Turah, or whatever other mage or elvin prince you care to name. His fear of what he might do is very real, and his weaknesses and what holds him back are very justified. Not once did I feel that his character was contrived. Sarah is also quite different, possessing a gift that seems to be quite rare in the Nine Kingdoms...a gift that even mages with vast amounts of power do not have. Her past is still a mystery, and at this point in the story, we do not even know if she, herself, knows why she has the gift she does. She is fiery and independent without being irritatingly so, and she still has a soft heart.
The romance between Ruith and Sarah has only just begun in this story. They are falling for each other, but you will not find even so much as a kiss between these pages. You WILL, however, be swept into their hearts as those magical first moments of love keep weaving themselves into their quest.
I wish I could give the story 4 1/2 stars, but since that's not possible, I'm settling for 4. I don't want to give it a 5, because this trilogy does not compare to the first Nine Kingdoms trilogy. My only fault with this particular book is that it's a bit slow and repetitious in a few places. I think the story would have been stronger if extra words had been cut out, leaving the same plot told in a more concise way. The beginnings of romance, beautiful writing, and magic moments make up for that, though.
Finally, I'll warn that this book leaves off with a cliffhanger, just like Star of the Morning did. But like that one, this is the first in a trilogy (the next two are set to be released in January of '11 and '12). The story continues with Spellweaver and concludes with Gift of Magic.

A Couple Thrown Together On a Quest to Save the Kingdom From Dark Magic
By April
Sarah lives in a nasty back-water of the Nine Kingdoms and has been secretly saving up enough money in order to get away. She hopes to make her living by her skill at weaving. But her nasty brother puts a crimp in her plans. He steals her money and worse, has been studying dark magic and declares that he is determined to destroy the Nine Kingdoms.
Sarah knows she needs to try and stop her brother, but she doesn't have magic powers that can defeat him, so she travels to find a mage who can help her. Reputedly there is a powerful mage who lives like a hermit in the deep woods nearby, so she heads there, even though she has nothing and confronting a mage is a dangerous proposition.
Ruith has been living, isolated, using the reputation of the mage that used to inhabit his tower as a means to keep everyone away. Long ago he buried his magic and is determined to never use it. When Sarah barges into his life, at first he sends her away... but then he realizes that her brother is a problem and Sarah won't stop until she can make sure he doesn't carry out his evil plans. Even as a magic-less man, Ruith decides he needs to help her.
This is the first part of a second trilogy set in the world of the Nine Kingdoms. I have enjoyed Kurland's historicals and the earlier fantasy romance trilogy, and I enjoyed this book as well. The relationship builds slowly, as this is only the beginning book (and it ends on a bit of a cliff-hanger, so don't read it until the next book is out if you dislike that kind of thing!). Both characters have secrets, some they know about and some they don't! But they are good people and heroic, and it is exciting to follow them on their adventure, battling with evil creatures and evil mages and seeing how they start to work together and build a relationship.
Some reviewers here have marked this tale down because the story is continued in the next books, which is too bad...

Nine Kingdoms, Book Four.
By Detra Fitch
Sarah of Doìre, daughter of the village witchwoman, spies a half page from a powerful spell book in her brother's room. When she reached toward it, the spell erupted from the page, wrapped itself around her wrist, and left its dark mark. Her brother, Daniel, has embraced the dark arts and vows to destroy the Nine Kingdoms. Unable to stop him alone, Sarah seeks aid from a powerful mage rumored to live a reclusive life in the mountains.
Ruithneadh "Ruith" (of a place he refuses to tell) was around the age of ten when his father opened a well of evil. The evil spewed from the well and came down to slaughter the entire family. Ruith somehow survived and found refuge in an abandoned cottage within the mountains. He took every last drop of the magic he possessed and buried it deep within himself, topped with powerful spells of concealment and un-noticing. Now grown, Ruith lets everyone believes as they will, but he has never uncorked and used his magic for anything or anyone. But when Sarah arrives at his door, desperate for help against one of his father's dark spells, Ruith finds himself thrust into the life of magic and peril. Though Daniel of Doìre has little magic and only half of the Diminishing spell, should he not be stopped the entire Nine Kingdoms will suffer as never before.
**** FOUR STARS! Be warned that this title has a cliff-hanger ending. As for the story, I found the characters to be well developed and their quest to be larger than life. It blends to make a tale that will be long remembered. With several spell pages scattered around the Nine Kingdoms, the author has lots of potential with future stories. If you have read the previous stories, you may notice one section where our current characters enter a place shortly after previous characters have left. I will say nothing more about it, but I thought it to be a very nice touch indeed. Brava! ****
