Group Reads of the Raksura - July - Stories of the Raksura Volume Two

Another lovely cover this time! Looks like we have one prequel and one sequel to the trilogy in this collection:

"The Dead City"
A tale of Moon before he came to the Indigo Cloud Court. As Moon is fleeing the ruins of Saraseil, a groundling city destroyed by the Fell, he flies right into another potential disaster when a friendly caravanserai finds itself under attack by a strange force.

"The Dark Earth Below"
Moon and Jade face their biggest adventure yet; their first clutch. But even as Moon tries to prepare for impending fatherhood, members of the Kek village in the colony tree's roots go missing, and searching for them only leads to more mysteries as the court is stalked by an unknown enemy.

Also includes the short stories "Trading Lesson," "Mimesis," and "The Almost Last Voyage of the Wind-ship Escarpment."

Apologies for the late thread, it's been kind of a screwy month. These sound like some interesting stories, but I admit I'm going to be a little bummed out if Jade's pregnancy is used to keep her out of the adventures (something always seems to come up, after their first journey together in The Cloud Roads- is it because she's so powerful she'd take the focus off Moon?). I'm looking forward to spending time in the Three Worlds either way though, I must admit!
