Martha Wells returns to the Raksura with a pair of brand-new
novellas!
In "The Falling World," Jade, sister queen of the Indigo Cloud Court,
has traveled with Chime and Balm to another Raksuran court. When she
fails to return, her consort, Moon, along with Stone and a party of
warriors and hunters, must track them down. Finding them turns out to be
the easy part; freeing them from an ancient trap hidden in the depths of
the Reaches is much more difficult.
"The Tale of Indigo and Cloud" explores the history of the Indigo Cloud
Court, long before Moon was born. In the distant past, Indigo stole
Cloud from Emerald Twilight. But in doing so, the reigning Queen Cerise
and Indigo are now poised for a conflict that could spark war throughout
all the courts of the Reaches.
Stories of Moon and the shape changers of Raksura have delighted readers
for years. This world is a dangerous place full of strange mysteries,
where the future can never be taken for granted and must always be
fought for with wits and ingenuity, and often tooth and claw. With two
brand-new novellas, Martha Wells shows that the world of the Raksura has
many more stories to tell . . .
