A god will return
When the earth and sky converge
Under the black sun
In
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
unbalancing of the world.
Meanwhile, a ship launches from a
distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The
captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the
waters around her as easily as it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship
carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is
a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well
knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a
villain.
Crafted with unforgettable characters, Rebecca
Roanhorse has created an epic adventure exploring the decadence of power
amidst the weight of history and the struggle of individuals swimming
against the confines of society and their broken pasts in the most
original series debut of the decade.
