Harbors of the Sun

Hugo Award finalist!

Raksura and their companions have been betrayed by the one they considered their own, and now a handful of survivors must cross the Three Realms at breakneck speed to recover their stolen relatives. Loon and Cliff move ahead with reconnaissance and unexpectedly meet an ally who may prove to be deadly. Against the Queen’s will, they decide to act alone and continue the search themselves. Meanwhile, Jade and Malachite form their own—quite unexpected—alliance, until a worrying message arrives: the taints are preparing an attack on the Boundaries, and the powerful empire of Kish is mustering forces against the raksura and their Earth allies.

But rescue may be too late: the captured raksura learn that their abductors are headed toward an unknown goal, carrying off a stolen magical artifact—the power to cause the Boundaries destruction beyond any attack by the deadly taints. To stop the enemy, the raksura will have to risk everything and follow their trail into forbidden lands.
