Summary

Moon, Jade, and other favorites from the Indigo Cloud Court return with two new novellas from Martha Wells.

Martha Wells continues to enthusiastically ignore genre conventions in her exploration of the fascinating world of the Raksura. Her novellas and short stories contain all the elements fans have come to love from the Raksura books: courtly intrigue and politics, unfolding mysteries that reveal an increasingly strange wider world, and threats both mundane and magical.

"The Dead City" is a tale of Moon before he came to the Indigo Court. As Moon is fleeing the ruins of Saraseil, a groundling city destroyed by the Fell, he flies right into another potential disaster when a friendly caravanserai finds itself under attack by a strange force.

In "The Dark Earth Below," Moon and Jade face their biggest adventure yet: their first clutch. But even as Moon tries to prepare for impending fatherhood, members of the Kek village in the colony tree's roots go missing, and searching for them only leads to more mysteries as the court is stalked by an unknown enemy.

Stories of Moon and the shape changers of Raksura have delighted readers and listeners for years. This world is a dangerous place full of strange mysteries, where the future can never be taken for granted and must always be fought for with wits and ingenuity, and often tooth and claw. With these two new novellas, Martha Wells shows that the world of the Raksura has many more stories to tell.

Oh My Gosh WOW!!!!

I came upon Martha Wells by accident, and what a happy accident it was. Ms Wells is now one of my all time favourite authors. This book, and the others in this outstanding series, are beautifully written, with wonderful characters, and a vivid world setting. I had always believed that nothing could beat the world of Pern, created by Anne McCaffrey, but this world make me wish I could sprout wings and fly with Moon and Jade. Awesome! And in my opinion, the cherry on the cake is Christopher Kipiniak's brilliant performance of this series. Having searched for other books in this series, I discovered that there will be a new addition to this magical series (in printed format) in July 2017. I can only hope that Audible manage to get hold of it, and that Mr Kipiniak agrees to narrate it. I highly recommend this, and the other books in this series. Give them a listen. You won't be sorry :-}
