Set generations before the rise of Coheed and Cambria, Year of the Black Rainbow opens the cosmic saga at its most volatile moment. Across the seventy-eight planets of Heaven's Fence, the Keywork-the mysterious energy binding all life-begins to fail. As political power hardens into tyranny and belief collides with ambition, a catastrophic struggle ignites that will reshape the universe forever.
When elite operatives Coheed and Cambria Kilgannon uncover a secret operation siphoning energy from the Keywork itself, they are drawn into a violent confrontation with forces determined to control creation at any cost. Their discovery sets off a chain reaction of betrayals, revelations, and annihilation-awakening ancient powers, exposing the true nature of the Mage hierarchy, and signaling the rise of Wilhelm Ryan, the architect of Heaven's Fence's darkest future.
Co-written by Claudio Sanchez, creator of The Amory Wars, and legendary storyteller Peter David, Year of the Black Rainbow is a fierce blend of epic science fiction, mythic tragedy, and relentless action. It is the foundation upon which the entire saga stands-an origin story steeped in cosmic horror, moral ambiguity, and the terrible cost of power.
For fans of The Amory Wars, this is where everything truly begins.
