Sun-Cross is a two-book fantasy series by Barbara Hambly, consisting of The Rainbow Abyss (1991) and The Magicians of Night (1992). The story follows a young wizard caught in a web of political intrigue in a world where magic users are feared, controlled, and exploited by those in power.

The series deals with themes of persecution, the ethics of using power, and the tension between individual freedom and collective safety. Like much of Hambly’s work, it avoids simple good-versus-evil framing in favor of morally complicated situations.
