In a war of lies she seeks the truth . . .
Ambassador Mahit Dzmare travels to the Teixcalaanli Empire’s
interstellar capital, eager to take up her new post. Yet when she
arrives, she discovers her predecessor was murdered. But no one will
admit his death wasn’t accidental – and she might be next.
Now Mahit must navigate the capital’s enticing yet deadly halls of
power, to discover dangerous truths. And while she hunts for the
killer, Mahit must somehow prevent the rapacious Empire from annexing
her home: a small, fiercely independent mining station.
As she sinks deeper into an alien culture that is all too seductive,
Mahit engages in intrigues of her own. For she’s hiding an
extraordinary technological secret, one which might destroy her
station and its way of life. Or it might save them from annihilation.
