on the edge of the Ocean and believe it to be the last refuge of the Progenitors. They ask the Raksur for help to penetrate inside. But the Raksur are wary, for the last sealed city of the Progenitors they encountered turned out to be a prison for an unstoppable evil. Before the arrival of the Kisets, the Court of Indigo Mist was tormented by visions of a catastrophe capable of destroying all the courts of the Raksur. Now the mentors of the court believe that the ancient city is connected to the foretold threat. A small group of warriors, including the escort Luna — an orphan recently arrived in the colony and who has become a member of the Raksur family, and the queen-sister Jade, agree to accompany the expedition of the Kisets. But predatory packs of the taints have also found the city, and in the race to contain the threat, it is the Raksur who may accidentally unleash the ancient evil. “Riveting, unexpected, and incredibly compelling. Martha Wells is a true master of world-building.” — The New York Times “A strikingly original world, diverse and vibrant characters, and a tense adventure. This is the kind of rare fantasy — fresh and unpredictable, a story that doesn’t follow the beaten path.” — N.K. Jemisin “A truly inventive and stunning universe filled with vivid, memorable characters. All of this makes the series one of my favorite in fantasy.” — Kate Elliott “This is not ordinary action. The novel offers conflicts with high stakes and difficult choices… I eagerly await the continuation.” — The Skiffy and Fanty Show “An irresistible tour de force — an exemplar of magnificent storytelling and subtle character work… I consider this novel one of the most thrilling fantasy novels of the year.” — Rising Shadow “A true rarity — a completely unique and stunning fantasy world.” — Elizabeth Bear “Martha Wells writes fantasy the way it should be.”
