Tiassa takes place from multiple viewpoints and within a broad timeline. At the center of the story is a silver tiassa, a figurine with great and mysterious powers that had been created by a goddess. Aliera’s time and space travelling (technically paradoxical) daughter Devera steals (okay, borrows) the object and leaves it with whomever she feels needs it the most. The tiassa has an agenda of its own however and almost has as many adventures as the people (particularly Vlad) that come into contact with it.

The first section is “Tag” and takes place when Vlad was still an assassin and crimelord in the Jhereg. (Vlad is also working on the preparations to get married, and the interactions between Cawti and Vlad are very romantic, even though we know how this relationship ends.)

So, very soon -- at noon GMT -- it will be time for the twenty-four hour readathon, and I thought it'd be nice if people in this community could cheer each other on, chat about how it's going, etc. I assume it's not just me taking part from this comm!

If you're taking part, how about you drop a comment with a link to your blog if you're discussing the 'thon there? Or a comment about your to read pile, or -- when we've got started -- a complaint about how tired you are already... Anything!

And whether you're participating or not, it might be nice to drop in and see how those who are participating are getting on.
