Synopsis
In the aftermath of the eclipse that saw Serapio massacre the Watchers and become a living avatar of the Crow God, Tova is left fractured, its sun still smothered in shadow. Serapio struggles to hold onto his own personhood under the weight of prophecy and the ambitions of those who want to use his power, while Naranpa — the Sun Priest he failed to kill, now overthrown by her own underlings — searches for any future left to her in a transformed city.
Rebecca Roanhorse expands her Between Earth and Sky trilogy with converging povs, following sea captain Xiala into an unlikely alliance as matriarchal clans maneuver and the war unfolding in the heavens is mirrored on the ground below.
