Black Sun\, \;the first book in the trilogy\, introduces us to the holy city of Tova. 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&rsquo\;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.
Whether you are a longtime fan of the trilogy or searching for your next immersive fantasy read\, this is an event you won&rsquo\;t want to miss out on.
