Fics like A Wish Cast Vain

“Lies that cannot be dispelled are lies believed. In the telling of it are we set free.” Following an age spent bound in service to the Beast God of Silk, Lace awakens. She awakens from slumber, inflicted by defeat, her silken body wounded and mended by a claw different from her Mothers; she awakens from her possession, haunted threads, which once filled her mind with her liege and Mother’s demands, now severed; she awakens into a new age, one drowning in spider webs: the age of the Weaver Queen. Above her, she finds the trembling shadow of her former rival and last hope, the Weaver’s body warped by claiming godhood. Below, she finds a Pharloom haunted by the consequences of her past actions, by survivors, and by a trail of riddles left by the red-cloaked warrior. Is Lace caught in another web? Newly mortal and spiraling out of control, Lace is unable to resist the lure of an order, especially one given by the most interesting thing ever to happen to her. What remains of Hornet will lead her on a quest spanning the breadth of her now dying kingdom, force her to face the lies she perpetuated, and show her that some paths cannot be taken alone.
