Synopsis
Horizon, published by Fran Wilde in 2017, concludes the Bone Universe trilogy after Updraft and Cloudbound. Set once again in the towering, cloud-wreathed bone city and the network of communities that depend on it, the novel follows the surviving characters from the earlier books as they confront the full scope of what has been unsettled since Updraft first exposed cracks in the city's ruling order. With the balance among traders, Singers, and the city's ordinary citizens still in flux, the final volume brings the trilogy's questions about power, trust, and survival at extreme height to their resolution, closing out the story of a civilization built, quite literally, on the bones of what came before it.

Notes
- From the series record (The Bone Universe): A complete trilogy set in a sky-city of towers grown from living bone, where citizens fly on artificial wings; a coming-of-age story that widens into political and ecological upheaval across the 3 books. Fran Wilde's separate 'Gem Universe' (The Jewel and Her Lapidary and its sequels) is a distinct, unrelated setting by the same author and is not covered by this admission.
