From a Hugo Award–winning author, the sequel to the acclaimed All the Windwracked Stars continues with a Valkyrie who must choose between fate and family.
This direct sequel to Elizabeth Bear’s All the Windwracked Stars picks up the story some fifty years after Muire went into the sea and became the new Bearer of Burdens.
Beautiful Cathoair, now an immortal warrior angel, has been called back to the city of Eiledon to raise his son—Muire’s son as well, cast up on shore as an infant. It is seemingly a quiet life. But deadly danger approaches . . . the evil goddess Heythe, who engineered the death of Valdyrgard, has travelled forward in time on her rainbow steed. She came expecting to gloat over a dead world, but instead she finds a Rekindled land, renewed by Muire’s sacrifice.
She will have her revenge by forcing this new Bearer of Burdens to violate her oaths and break her bounds and thus bring about the true and final end of Valdyrgard. She will do it by tormenting both Cathoair and his son Cathmar. But Mingan, the gray wolf, sees his old enemy Heythe’s return. He will not allow it to happen again.
Praise for All the Windwracked Stars
“Bear creates a world with an astonishing depth of mythology in a tale that begins with Ragnarok . . . Bear’s world-building echoes the best of Zelazny.” —Booklist, starred review
“Bear’s ability to create breathtaking variations on ancient themes and make them new and brilliant is, perhaps, unparalleled in the genre.” —Library Journal, starred review
“Rewarding and compelling.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
