Breathtakingly surprising and fun. For readers who missed earlier
entry points to this delightful series, now is the time to get on
board.
--The New York Times
A former friend has betrayed the Raksura and their groundling
companions, and now the survivors must race across the Three Worlds to
rescue their kidnapped family members. When Moon and Stone are sent
ahead to scout, they quickly encounter an unexpected and potentially
deadly ally, and decide to disobey the queens and continue the search
alone. Following in a wind-ship, Jade and Malachite make an unlikely
alliance of their own, until word reaches them that the Fell are massing
for an attack on the Reaches, and that forces of the powerful Empire of
Kish are turning against the Raksura and their groundling comrades.
But there may be no time to stage a rescue, as the kidnapped Raksura
discover that their captors are heading toward a mysterious destination
with a stolen magical artifact that will cause more devastation for the
Reaches than anything the lethal Fell can imagine. To stop them, the
Raksura will have to take the ultimate risk and follow them into
forbidden territory.
The Harbors of the Sun, from celebrated fantasy author Martha Wells,
is the thrilling follow-up to The Edge of Worlds, and the conclusion
of a new Three Worlds duology of strange lands, uncanny beings, dead
cities, and ancient danger.
