Seven Spinners. Book Six. Jalar
978-5-6050961-9-1
Jalar is the daughter of Temulgen, the best hunter in the Land, and the granddaughter of Thoka, whom everyone respects and listens to as if she were a Loymanka. Jalar is the most beautiful girl, saved by the deer from the clutches of Nav’. A girl who can speak with river.
In the land where Jalar lives, everything follows a strict logic: the Time of the Elk is followed by the Time of the Duck, Yolrun by Zharminah, and so on, cycle after cycle.
But the precise course of the cycle is disrupted during the spring festival. It is as though someone has whispered the way to evil itself, and now it is here, in their peaceful, secure world. Evil also has its heralds — strange people who demand that the spinner be handed over and begin to run the village ragged. Why does everyone hear their words in their own way, and why does what they hear stir up hatred in the peaceful children of Lynx? Why is Jalar a threat to them, and why is she now forced to flee her home to save herself? And what sort of book lies hidden at the very bottom of old Thoka’s chest?
“Jalar” — the sixth novel in Tamara Mikheeva’s fantasy series — will bring all the spinners together. In “Seven Spinners”, the author’s craftsmanship is revealed in a new light, whilst the tales take on a special depth and allegorical quality. You can read them in any order, discovering one by one the stories of girls who must make a choice — whether to destroy or preserve the worlds.
