“Wildly original world-building, diverse and engaging characters, and a thrilling adventure plot.

Wells is a master worldbuilder.”- The New York Times Praise for Stories of the Raksura, Volume One and The Books of the Raksura While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors. Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more. With two brand-new novellas, Martha Wells shows that the world of the Raksura has many more stories to tell. 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. Stories of Moon and the shape changers of Raksura have delighted readers for years. But in doing so, the reigning Queen Cerise and Indigo are now poised for a conflict that could spark war throughout all the courts of the Reaches.

In the distant past, Indigo stole Cloud from Emerald Twilight. The Tale of Indigo and Cloud” explores the history of the Indigo Cloud Court, long before Moon was born. Finding them turns out to be the easy part freeing them from an ancient trap hidden in the depths of the Reaches is much more difficult. When she fails to return, her consort, Moon, along with Stone and a party of warriors and hunters, must track them down. Martha Wells returns to the Raksura with a pair of brand-new novellas! In The Falling World,” Jade, sister queen of the Indigo Cloud Court, has traveled with Chime and Balm to another Raksuran court.
