Black Sun

In the vibrant city of Tova, the upcoming winter solstice promises not renewal, but a rare and ominous solar eclipse, a celestial event prophesied to unbalance the world. This extraordinary day marks the return of a god, as foretold by ancient prophecies. From a distant city, the disgraced Teek captain, Xiala, embarks on a perilous voyage to Tova. Her unique song can control the seas, but her cargo is far more volatile: Serapio, a blind, scarred young man cloaked in destiny, who is anything but harmless despite initial appearances. As political intrigue simmers and forbidden magic stirs, Serapio and Xiala are drawn into a cosmic struggle that threatens to reshape their world. Rebecca Roanhorse masterfully weaves a tale inspired by Pre-Columbian American civilizations, exploring themes of power, destiny, and the fight against societal constraints in a groundbreaking epic fantasy.
