In this compelling new novel by Ann Leckie, the mystery of a missing translator intertwines the fates of three individuals, creating a ripple effect across the cosmos. Qven, designed to be a Presger translator, is expected to follow a predetermined path: learning human customs and ultimately serving as a liaison between the perilous alien Presger and humanity. However, Qven's desire for autonomy leads to rebellion, a choice that could result in dire consequences. Their journey intersects with Enae, a hesitant diplomat burdened by an impossible inheritance: the quest to locate a fugitive missing for over two centuries. Meanwhile, Reet, an adopted mechanic, grapples with a growing urgency to uncover his genetic origins, seeking answers to his unique differences from those around him. As a Conclave of various species approaches and a crucial treaty between humans and the Presger hangs in the balance, the choices made by Qven, Enae, and Reet will have far-reaching implications. This masterful blend of space adventure and mystery delves into themes of relationships and belonging, offering a powerful standalone narrative within Leckie's acclaimed Imperial Radch universe.
