Moon, once a solitary wanderer, has become consort to Jade, sister queen
of the Indigo Cloud court. Together, they travel with their people on a
pair of flying ships in hopes of finding a new home for their colony.
Moon finally feels like he's found a tribe where he belongs. But when
the travelers reach the ancestral home of Indigo Cloud, shrouded within
the trunk of a mountain-sized tree, they discover a blight infecting its
core. Nearby they find the remains of the invaders who may be
responsible, as well as evidence of a devastating theft. This discovery
sends Moon and the hunters of Indigo Cloud on a quest for the heartstone
of the tree -- a quest that will lead them far away, across the Serpent
Sea.
In this followup to The Cloud Roads, Martha Wells returns with a
world-spanning odyssey, a mystery that only provokes more questions --
and the adventure of a lifetime.
