Fevered Star

by Rebecca Roanhorse · 2022

In the shattered city of Tova, the sun is blotted out by the Crow God’s eclipse and a portentous comet signals the death of a ruler and the rise of a new order. In this sequel to the Hugo‑winning Black Sun, sea captain Xiala is thrust into a maelstrom of political intrigue and celestial war, forging an unlikely alliance with the former Priest of Knives. Meanwhile, the matriarchal Clan of Tova scrambles to bind tenuous alliances as enemies converge, and the living avatars Serapio and Naranpa grapple with destiny, free will, and the cost of becoming more than human. Rebecca Roanhorse weaves a vivid tapestry of codified magic, suppressed deities, and heart‑tide treachery, delivering an epic fantasy where legends awaken and the fate of the Meridian hangs in the balance.
