A good will retrun
When the earth and sky converge
Under the black sun.
In the holy city of Tove 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."
My Rating: 4/5
I really enjoyed this book. I thought that it was a great opening to a new fantasy world and that the characters were each unique and interesting. I listened to the audiobook and was really happy with the narrators as it's a full-cast audio for each P.O.V. I found the story to be fast-paced, and the plot to be entertaining. The author did an excellent job fleshing out the world, clans and the characters. I can't wait to see where this story will go.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
