 With the upcoming release of MIRRORED HEAVENS, I thought it was about time I dug my feet into the world of BLACK SUN. This story grabbed my attention from its incredible (and jarring!) first chapter. BLACK SUN is a story about a reborn god, a dying god, a disgraced traveler, belief, the lack of it, the darkest and brightest magic, and oh so so much more. Written from different character POV's and inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas, Roanhorse creates beautiful characters, world-building that you can see clearly in your mind, and magic systems that never stop surprising you. This is truly a fantasy world you’ll never want to let go of!
