With hypnotic prose and a wild imagination, Carey explores the themes of twisted love and unchecked power that lie at the heart of Shakespeare's masterpiece, while serving up a fresh take on the play's iconic characters. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness (1969). Miranda and Caliban is bestselling fantasy author Jacqueline Carey's gorgeous retelling of The Tempest. Carey is at the peak of her luminous storytelling powers in a tale that will appeal to readers of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss, while its thought-provoking look at gender, love, and sexual preference bring to mind Ursula K. Their journey through killer vegetation, across an ocean, and into a volcano is filled with action and adventure. The Scattered Prophecy then brings Khai and Zariya together with a diverse corps of individuals of many races, including tentacled sea dwellers and intelligent giant sea wyrms. He develops unusual skills before he goes to the palace to be Zariya’s protector shortly before their sixteenth birthday. Named to be Zariya’s shadow and never knowing his parents, Khai was raised in the Fortress of the Winds, where warriors train. Khai was born at exactly the same time, during a rare lunar eclipse, as Zariya, the youngest daughter of the king of Zarkhoum, where royalty are almost immortal. In what may well be the epic fantasy of the year, Carey ( Miranda and Caliban, 2017) builds a rich and varied world with scores of countries, all shaped by the various living gods who have been cast out of the sky, leaving the world starless but with multiple moons.
