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.
Crafted with
unforgettable characters, Rebecca Roanhorse has created an epic
adventure exploring the decadence of power amidst the weight of
history and the struggle of individuals swimming against the confines
of society and their broken pasts in the most original series debut
of the decade.
