Perfect for you if...

  • You love science fiction with clever, morally grey characters who have to constantly adapt their plans as the world burns around them.
  • You enjoy stories where family politics and personal ambition tangle with larger geopolitical stakes in satisfying ways.
  • You've read the Imperial Radch trilogy and want more of Leckie's universe, or you're new to her work and want a standalone entry point.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer straightforward heroes with clear moral compasses over protagonists who scheme and manipulate their way forward.
  • You want fast-paced action and tight plotting rather than character-driven narratives that take time to develop relationships and world-building.
  • You're looking for romance as a central plot thread rather than a quieter element woven through a larger political story.

About this book

Ingray, an ambitious young woman, devises a plan to secure her future and recover her family's lost artifacts. Knowing her brother is favored to inherit, she aims to prove herself worthy of the family name by freeing a thief from a prison planet from which no one has ever escaped, then using their help to steal back a valuable artifact. When Ingray and the thief return home, they discover their planet caught in political upheaval and an escalating interstellar conflict. The two must develop a new strategy to protect Ingray's future and save her world from being lost entirely. This stand-alone novel is set in the world of the Imperial Radch trilogy.
