Quintessence Sky continues where the events of Quintessence (Tor
Books, 2013) left off.
At the edge of the flat Earth, a strange fire in the sky burns,
altering the balance of the elements and threatening all life on
Horizon Island. Matthew Marcheford experiments to determine the
cause, while the growing animosity of the manticores and the
arrival of more ships from Europe jeopardize the colony's fragile
peace. When Matthew's fiancee, Catherine Parris, is betrayed and
abandoned deep underground, the secrets she uncovers there may be
Horizon's last hope.
King Philip of Spain, determined to control quintessence, hires
a Jesuit priest named Ramos de Tavera. Ramos unlocks secrets that
would give Philip the power to conquer the world, but he hesitates,
knowing the king's ambition and brutality. Instead, he seeks the
advice of Princess Elizabeth, imprisoned in the Tower, and his
faith in church and country begins to falter. To protect his family
from the king's wrath, Ramos must work together with Matthew and
Catherine across thousands of miles to rescue Elizabeth and save
the Horizon colony from destruction.
