From publisher blurb: Floating on the edge of a wooded fen, Starspun Hollow is a font of life and beauty in an otherwise dreary swamp. Equal parts human and halfling and always vibrant with colours, this prosperous village seems to have fallen from a child’s story. Merchants travel from distant lands to purchase the village’s beautiful dyes and unique “star silk,” woven from the webs of the local starweaver spiders. Beneath its pleasant facade, however, Starspun Hollow grapples with political strife concerning its natural resources, made worse by racial tensions older than the village itself.
