The interwoven destinies of the people of Meridian will finally be determined in this stunning conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse’s Between Earth and Sky trilogy. Even the sea cannot stay calm before the storm. —Teek saying Serapio, avatar of the Crow God Reborn and the newly crowned Carrion King, rules Tova. But his enemies gather both on distant shores and within his own city as the matrons of the clans scheme to destroy him. And deep in the alleys of the Maw, a new prophecy is whispered, this one from the Coyote God. It promises Serapio certain doom if its terrible dictates are not fulfilled. Meanwhile, Xiala is thrust back amongst her people as war comes first to the island of Teek. With their way of life and their magic under threat, she is their last best hope. But the sea won’t talk to her the way it used to, and doubts riddle her mind. She will have to sacrifice the things that matter most to unleash her powers and become the queen they were promised. And in the far northern wastelands, Naranpa, avatar of the Sun God, seeks a way to save Tova from the visions of fire that engulf her dreams. But another presence has begun stalking her nightmares, and the Jaguar God is on the hunt.

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.
