About this book
Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives at the heart of the powerful Teixcalaanli Empire and discovers that her predecessor has died under suspicious circumstances. To protect her independent station, she must navigate imperial poetry, political factions, cultural assimilation, and a dangerous succession crisis while relying on an imperfect digital copy of the dead ambassador’s memories. The romance is not the main plot, but queer desire and emotional intimacy are woven naturally into the story’s intricate social world. Martine offers the intellectual scale of classic space opera with contemporary attention to language, identity, and belonging.
