In the steampunk-bright streets of Koradiya, cloth remembers every tale it touches-and eighteen-year-old Ama Nsia is the only weaver whose loom can speak those stories aloud. When her family's workshop is threatened by ancient hunger spirits, Ama discovers her shuttle channels the forgotten magic of Anansi, the West-African trickster spider. Saving one city is only the first pick in a vast, living tapestry: obsidian gears that swallow legends, river shards that slice the sky, and silent depths that teach lullabies of stone.Joined by a sky-tram captain, a chorus of river-witches, and apprentices who turn lightning into lullabies, Ama races from desert wheels to aurora spindles, rewriting the world's fraying folklore into a single eight-voiced harmony. Yet the greatest challenge arrives when there is nothing left to mend: how do you step away from the loom and let new hands carry the weft?The Midnight Weaver blends mythological retelling with West-African steampunk, crafting an epic where heroism means learning to breathe between crises, and the strongest cloth is woven from shared stories rather than lone saviors.
