Step into a sprawling world of celestial m agic\, political intrigue\, and ancient prophecies with \;New York Times \;bestselling author Rebecca Roanhorse as we dive deep int o her acclaimed \;Between Earth and Sky \;trilogy. \; Black Sun\, \;Fevered Star\, and \;Mirrored Heavens \;are inspired by the rich and diverse cultures of the pre-Columbi an Americas\, reshaping modern speculative fiction with unmissable worldbu ilding.

\n

Black Sun\, \;the first book in the trilogy\, introduces us to 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 unbal ancing of the world.

\n

Meanwhile\, a ship launches from a distant ci ty bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the sh ip\, Xiala\, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man&rsquo\;s mind. Her ship carries one passen ger. Described as harmless\, the passenger\, Serapio\, is a young man\, bl ind\, scarred\, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows\, when a man i s described as harmless\, he usually ends up being a villain.
