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 that might destroy her station and its way of life. Or it might save them from annihilation. A tale of empire, intrigue and rebellion with murder at its heart
