The Castleweaver's Tales Ann Wilmer-Lasky

Still not for the faint of heart, the horrors of the Castleweaver's exploits continue and yet lie couched in the intricacies of poetic form. Eldreth is a master weaver. His tapestries adorn the halls and bedchamber walls of the richest and grandest in the surrounding kingdoms. He is also a wizard whose talents over-shadow those of his aging mentor Tawold, and Eldreth has turned to the dark arts to exact revenge on those he deems his enemies. Deep in the lower reaches of his castle, his fingers fly across his looms, weaving more than wool and flax and dye into his tapestries, entwining the very souls of his victims in the vivid portraits he weaves. Once struck from the looms, his tapestries writhe upon the walls. Thus hung, his victims forever battle dragons, demons and each other.
