Feast of the Trickster

The Weaver sat at the Loom, a frown lodged between his brows as he studied the pattern. Things were desperately wrong. The fabric of Fate was not as closely woven as it should be.

The Feast of the Trickster is fast approaching, and the Weaver fears what that malicious goddess may do. With her power at its greatest, the very fabric of Fate is threatened. Somehow the Trickster must be stopped.

The only person capable of doing that is Zan — Alexandra Scarsdale, a young college student whose life color is already woven into the Loom.

Five companions — a Minstrel, a Swordswoman, a Shapeshifter, a Prophet, and a Heartmender — are sent to Earth to find Zan and bring her back to their world. The Trickster, aware of the plan, also goes to Earth to locate Zan and keep the Five from her. An intense and sometimes comic series of adventures ensues as the Five and the Trickster attempt to find their way among the strange people and customs of New England. The Five are helped by a group of Vermont teenagers, while the Trickster is aided by a Boston psychiatrist who thinks he's found his most challenging case. But the greatest contest is still ahead when Zan, once found, has to make a decision that could change the pattern of the Loom forever.

This satisfying sequel to Colors in the Dreamweaver's Loom is full of fascinating characters, climactic conflicts, and emotional entanglements. The idea of Fate being woven with various strands is a vivid image, and the struggle to keep this fabric from unraveling becomes an epic adventure.
