* FROM HUGO AND NEBULA AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR, REBECCA ROANHORSE * 'The pages turn themselves' - KIRKUS 'Vivid worldbuilding and exciting prose' - LIBRARY JOURNAL 'Riveting from the beginning' - RF KUANG A god will return When the earth and sky converge Under the black sun In the holy city of Tova the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world. Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man's mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as "harmless" the passenger, Serapio, is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain.
