Лучшие книги Критики Х. Рао

После катастрофы, которая случилась тысячу лет назад, в воздух поднялись города-растения. Ими управляют архитекторы, обладающие тайной наукой и технологией. Внизу властвует ярость земли — бури, сметающие всё живое, кроме исполинских духов-якши. Брак Иравана и Ахилии трещит по швам, но чтобы найти ответы на вопросы и спасти воздушный город Накшар, им придется отбросить все конфликты и научиться вновь доверять друг другу.

Two months have passed since Ahilya and Iravan learned the devastating truths behind the earthrages. As the cosmic creatures struggle to break into the world, and Nakshar's architecture disintegrates, the desperate council summons their sister ashrams to a Conclave, to discuss the future of life in the skies.

Ahilya, now a councillor, is determined to share the truth about the cosmic beings and the nature of Ecstatic trajection so she can liberate ordinary citizens and save the condemned architects. Her conviction has alienated her allies and created dangerous enemies. Only Iravan has a chance of persuading the Conclave that Ecstatics are not unstable, but he returns from the jungle struggling with his own Ecstasy. He has little control over his second-self, the primal falcon yaksha, and finds the Conclave hostile to his cause.

As strange, deadly storms break out, threatening refuge even in the skies, Iravan and the other Ecstatic architects face brutal reprisals. And with the barrier restraining the cosmic beings thinning, Ahilya and Iravan know they are running out of time to save everyone. Thrust into the center of the storm, both will have to confront what matters most to them, who they really are, and what it means for the future of humanity.
