The English Language LGBT Book Club has launched an LGBT Sci-Fi book club group, that will meet once a month.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>LGBT Sci-Fi & Fantasy group of the English Language LGBT Book Club Zurich, will discuss this book today:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/u>„Black Sun“ by Rebecca Roanhorse<\/b>
The first book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy, inspired by the civilizations of the Pre-Columbian Americas and woven into a tale of celestial prophecies, political intrigue, and forbidden magic.<\/p>\n

A god will return
When the earth and sky converge
Under the black sun<\/p>\n

In the holy city of Tova, the winter solstice is usually a time for celebration and renewal, but this year it coincides with a solar eclipse, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing of the world.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a ship launches from a distant city bound for Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship, Xiala, is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily as it can warp a man\u2019s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as harmless, the passenger, Serapio, is a young man, blind, scarred, and cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows, when a man is described as harmless, he usually ends up being a villain.

<\/i>**<\/b>The event takes place in the rooms of the Regenbogenhaus, which is open from 15h00-19h00 on Wednesdays. You’re welcome to visit the library, before the book discussion in the House of Color
