EVEN THE DARKEST STARS : Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the emperor’s royal explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry, mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River Shara arrives in her village and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister, Lusha, as everyone had expected—for his next expedition. Then, Lusha sets off on her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to her: protecting her sister from the countless perils of the climb or beating her to the summit. ALL THE WANDERING LIGHT : After the terrifying events on Mount Raksha, the witches have returned, and River has betrayed Kamzin to regain his dark powers. If Kamzin is to save Azmiri and prevent the fall of the Empire, she must find a star that fell in the Ash Mountains to the north. Facing dark magic, a perilous journey, and a standoff against the witches, can Kamzin, Lusha, and Tem find the star and save their Empire?
