Spider gift. Harding F.

Each resident of Raddish risks being damned. Any stranger under suspicion. The curse egg ripens in the curse’s soul, captivating with hatred until he is ready to bring him down to the sacrifice. And then the damned has only one chance of salvation.

Kellen is able to unwind curses. So he saved Nettl, turned into herons, - the human appearance returned to her. Now they travel together along Raddish, saving the inhabitants.

Once and Kellen himself is cursing, and all suspicions fall to the net. What if his unique gift is actually a curse?
