Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee transports us to a world vastly different from that of the her previous Green Bone Saga novels. Here, Lee presents a novella about wonder, duty, and love set in the fictional kingdom of Dartha, home to monstrous manticores and the rocs—divine birds of prey which originate from the mythology of the Middle East—that hunt them. Lee’s descriptions of the world of Dartha are breathtaking.

This is a book about good intentions. But as the saying goes, hell is paved with them. New Earth Arbiter Henry m’Yama t’Nowak learns this the hard way when he tries to save humanity from a hostile force—and winds up coming very close to losing everything. Czerneda drops the reader into quite the complicated situation at the beginning of the book. We learn that the inhabitants of the original Earth (i.e., our Earth) were evacuated to New Earth many years before.
