Two suns has always been the rule of Fury. The loremasters wrote it down. The keepers measured it. And the children shouted the other thing anyway, spinning and pointing and falling over laughing: three suns shining over Fury.
The grown-ups knew it was only a game. They were wrong about which record was the good one.
Then the sky changes.
It isn't the wrong answer anymore.
Sixteen-year-old Anjie Karan has finally stopped choosing between her two worlds and started living in both at once. Home is Iowa. Report cards, choir, a best friend with a saxophone and a secret the size of a mountain range. Home is also Fury. Stone terraces, a father who is karan of an entire planet, and a mother she can reach once a week, at sunset, and not one minute longer. For two impossible months Anjie holds both, and for the first time in her life it is enough.
What comes next is not solved by the people with the charts. It is solved by a girl who stops playing what is written and listens for the third song. A boy who listens to a rock with his palm flat against it. A photographer who takes pictures of everything and none of the faces. A cat who goes where she likes and files no route. It is solved by kids doing the small, special thing each of them happens to be good at, on a night when that turns out to be the only thing that works.
Anjie throws her mother's ring into a creek and cannot make herself go in after it. She has to work out what a rule is for before anyone will let her have one. And she has to find out whether a family that spent sixteen years building walls to keep her safe can survive her taking one down.
Because everything the grown-ups had filed under nothing turns out to have been sitting there the whole time. Too dim to bother with. Waiting for somebody quiet enough to look.
Including the people who were erased.
World of Fury is Book Three in the Fury series. A story about growing up between two worlds, about the families we are given and the ones we build, and about the one thing this series believes all the way down. You do not repair what's broken. You rebuild it. And what you rebuild is stronger, and it shows.
Includes six bonus stories, 2 cats, a sand-sleeper and "sparks" raised by an old tom cat.
Book 4, Trihelion of Fury, is coming soon.
