The great city of Tova is shattered. The sun is held within the smothering grip of the Crow God's eclipse, but a comet that marks the death of a ruler and heralds the rise of a new order is imminent. As sea captain Xiala is swept up in the chaos and currents of change, she finds an unexpected ally in the former Priest of Knives. For the Clan Matriarchs of Tova, tense alliances form as far-flung enemies gather and the war in the heavens is reflected upon the earth. And for Serapio and Naranpa, both now living avatars, the struggle for free will and personhood in the face of destiny rages. How will Serapio stay human when he is steeped in prophecy and surrounded by those who desire only his power? Is there a future for Naranpa in a transformed Tova without her total destruction?

Speculative fiction has seen a dynamic expansion in Indigenous-centered worldbuilding through works that reinterpret traditional mythology and post-apocalyptic futures. Author Rebecca Roanhorse rose to prominent acclaim in speculative fiction with her award-winning short stories and epic fantasy novels, including her debut novel Trail of Lightning and the Between Earth and Sky trilogy starting with Black Sun.
Born Rebecca Parish on September 23, 1971, in Conway, Arkansas, Roanhorse grew up in Texas and later moved to Northern New Mexico, where she lives with her husband, daughter, and dog. She gained immediate recognition in the speculative fiction community with her 2017 short story "Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience™", which won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Short Story. In 2018, she published her debut novel Trail of Lightning, launching The Sixth World series and winning the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer (now the Astounding Award), alongside Locus and Hugo nominations.
Roanhorse expanded her narrative work across multiple media franchises and formats. She authored the media tie-in novel Star Wars: Resistance Reborn and the middle-grade fantasy Race to the Sun for the Rick Riordan Presents imprint. Beyond prose fiction, she has written comics and video game narratives for Marvel Comics involving characters such as Echo, She-Hulk, Werewolf By Night, Moon Knight, and Chee'ilth. Her screenwriting work includes episodes for FX's mystery series A Murder at the End of the World and the Disney+ Marvel series Echo. Her original literary projects have been optioned for screen adaptation by Amazon Studios, Netflix, and AMC Studios, and she has served as guest editor for The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy.
Roanhorse's writing frequently draws upon Indigenous cultures, Navajo mythology, and pre-Columbian historical inspirations to reconstruct classic fantasy and science fiction tropes. Her narratives feature complex character motivations, political maneuvering, and fluid explorations of identity, power, and survival. Whether constructing post-apocalyptic landscapes or elaborate pre-Columbian epic fantasy realms, her work blends mythic storytelling with modern genre sensibilities.
