The Tainted Web - Paperback

by Amy Sumida (Author)

This web covers the world... and it's hungry.

Vervain Lavine has hunted gods across realms, but this enemy doesn't hide in shadows or sanctuaries. He lives in the system itself-a Spider God who has turned the Internet into a living web, stretching across the world.

From behind screens, he feeds on chaos, stirring hatred, collapsing systems, and pushing people toward violence. Every death becomes an offering. Every act of destruction makes him stronger.

To stop him, Vervain must do something she's never done before-enter the web.

Inside the digital realm, the rules are different. Reality bends. The mind is the greatest weapon. Control belongs to the one who understands the threads. And the Spider God knows every inch of his domain.

Vervain must learn to track the Spider through his own web and take control of the web, or be lost to it forever.

Author Biography

Amy Sumida lives on an island in the Pacific Ocean where gods go to play. She sleeps in a fairy bed, high in the air, with two gravity-defying felines and upon waking, enjoys stabbing people with little needles, over and over, under the guise of making pretty pictures on their skin. She bellydances and paints pictures on her walls but is happiest with her nose stuck in a book, her mind in a different world than this one, filled with fantastical men who unfortunately don't exist in our mundane reality. Thank the gods for fantasy. On a serious note, she's the author of several books, including the Godhunter series, Feeding the Lwas, The Magic of Fabric, and Enchantress. She's been writing since she was a little girl but first decided to pursue writing as a career when she gave her high school English teacher one of her books to look over and unbeknownst to her, that teacher passed her book around to all her friends. A month later she was accosted in the halls by a teacher she didn't know, begging her to write a sequel. She's been writing novels ever since.
