Synopsis
A rise. A fall. A reckoning. In the Third Horizon—an age of tall‑ship empires, collapsing glaciers, and the last echoes of myth—Dr. Xamala Reifán stands at the turning point of a world about to break.
Once the artificer-hero of Tung Nidan, Xamala’s brilliance delivered her people their greatest victory against the mighty City on the Great High Lake, the world‑spanning power known as Pinnacle. But triumph is short‑lived. When Pinnacle’s cannons finally crush Tung Nidan, Xamala is requisitioned as Artificer Asset One‑Two‑Eight, and put to work in the Paladion of the Crossroads Society.
There she faces a threat greater than any war: The Great Winter is ending. Melting glaciers are rising fast enough to drown Pinnacle’s ports and topple its world-spanning trade. To avert disaster, Xamala is commanded to build a vast heliostat array—a solar furnace capable of reshaping a comet itself, to vaporize ice off its surface to shade the earth from the sun’s relentless energy.
She vows to succeed, not for her captors, but to prove that even in captivity she can achieve what Pinnacle cannot. Yet the sky is unforgiving, the calculations merciless, and when the comet answers her work in a way no one predicted, Xamala’s greatest creation becomes the spark of a catastrophe that will transform the world forever.
Shadow of the Sun is a sweeping mythic historical fantasy spanning ages of creation, conflict, and cosmic ambition—from the ancient Horizons shaped by the Creators to the rise of Pinnacle’s wind-borne dominion and the scientific gambit that ignites a world‑shattering event.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Lost civilizations and mythic cycles
- Epic worldbuilding with scientific and cosmic stakes
- Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber
- Guy Gavriel Kay’s Tigana

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Shadow of the Sun is a mythic-historical fantasy that traces the rise, fall, and rebirth of a lost civilization across ages of creation, conflict, and cosmic upheaval. Blending sweeping legend with cultural evolution, it follows humanity from its earliest remembered dawn to the moment a single act of ambition reshapes the world forever.On a frozen mountainside, an old man and a young woman carry a dying companion toward shelter. As the woman reads from an ancient codex, the long arc of history unfurls: the First and Second Horizons, eras when the Creators shaped the world until their own rivalries brought down the Great Winter. In the chaos that followed, the hero Su-Nemtu stole the secret of fire to save his people, severing humanity from divine guidance and setting the stage for the Third Horizon.Across centuries, Su-Nemtu's descendants become the anyw, a confederation of migrating tribes whose fortunes rise and fall through mysticism, astronomy, and political struggle. Their leader eventually guides his people westward to a miraculous circular lake ringed by fertile plains. There he founds Pinnacle, a city that grows over generations into a formidable tall-ship empire whose reach spans the known world.But Pinnacle now faces its greatest peril: the end of the Great Winter. Melting glaciers threaten to drown its ports and collapse its global influence. Desperate to avert disaster, Pinnacle's rulers requisition the brilliant Dr. Xamala Reifan from conquered Tung Nidan and command her to build a vast heliostat array-a solar furnace capable of reshaping a comet to neutralize the threat. Xamala vows to succeed not for her captors, but to prove that even in captivity she can achieve what they cannot. But when the comet answers in a way no one predicted, Xamala unleashes a catastrophe that compels her to face the consequences of her ambition. Shadow of the Sun is a sweeping tale of myth, power, and the perilous risks of reaching beyond the limits of the possible. Perfect for readers of Roger Zelazny's The Chronicles of Amber and Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana, this novel offers lost-civilization mystery, ancient mythic cycles, and a climactic scientific gambit that ignites a world-shattering event. A cinematic epic blending legend, ambition, and the fragile balance between creation and ruin. An epic tale of a lost civilization rising from creation myths to a world-shattering scientific gambit.
