- Book 4 of 5: The Books of the Raksura
An expedition of groundlings from the Empire of Kish have traveled through the Three Worlds to the Indigo Cloud court of the Raksura, shape-shifting creatures of flight that live in large family groups. The groundlings have found a sealed ancient city at the edge of the shallow seas, near the deeps of the impassable Ocean. They believe it to be the last home of their ancestors and ask for help getting inside. But the Raksura fear it was built by their own distant ancestors, the Forerunners, and the last sealed Forerunner city they encountered was a prison for an unstoppable evil.
Prior to the groundlings’ arrival, the Indigo Cloud court had been plagued by visions of a disaster that could destroy all the courts in the Reaches. Now, the court’s mentors believe the ancient city is connected to the foretold danger. A small group of warriors, including consort Moon, an orphan new to the colony and the Raksura’s idea of family, and sister queen Jade, agree to go with the groundling expedition to investigate. But the predatory Fell have found the city too, and in the race to keep the danger contained, the Raksura may be the ones who inadvertently release it.
The Edge of Worlds, from celebrated fantasy author Martha Wells, returns to the fascinating world of The Cloud Roads for the first book in a new series of strange lands, uncanny beings, dead cities, and ancient danger.

Store description
I am a long-time reader and collector of books, including general literature, fiction, and science fiction/fantasy. I am now pursuing one of my ambitions, that is to use my interests and experience and become a fulltime Bookseller. I continue to acquire books that are appealing to me and hopefully also to you. My acquisitions include new and future releases as well as previously published items. I therefore have, and will continue to have, many interesting items for sale. Most of my available items are First Editions, First Printings and identified as such. Whenever possible I obtain signed copies. This includes through attendance at Readings, Book Fairs and, recently, via on-line meetings. All dust jackets are wrapped in Archival dust jacket cover to protect them and to enhance the appearance of the book. I also have a large collection of comics, which is undergoing review and some of which are being offered for sale. I will also offer, from time to time, Art-related items including Catalogues, Posters and Prints. I have been a dealer in sports cards and memorabilia, as well as comics, selling at Shows and Conventions. Therefore, as both a collector and seller, I understand your need for well maintained items in good condition and fairness in describing items offered for sale. We also accept responsibility for proper packaging of items to avoid shipping-related damage, even if it increases the cost of getting the item to you. We make these requirements our obligation to you the client. Thanks for your interest in our items.…
