“The Dead City” is a tale of Moon before he came to the Indigo 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. In “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.

Fun stories that fill in the gaps

Reading order advice: Read this after you read The Siren Depths. Three of the stories explicitly say they happen after that book.

I think the stories were written at that time, but this collection was published last. I wouldn't recommend reading it last (like I did). The novella really sets you up for the final two books.

I'd also recommend you read this one first after Siren, then the other short story book after it. They both should be read before you read the last two Raksura books.

Worth the read though.

None

Loved the last story in this anthology so much that it eclipsed the others by a pretty wide margin. In it, Jade is pregnant and Moon struggles with his feelings about becoming a father and of course, another crazy escapade just outside their home tree.

The other stories were also good. Definitely recommended reading if you’ve read the rest of the series.
