Samenvatting

A powerful space opera debut that sets a gripping cat-and-mouse quest for revenge against the sweeping portrait of a galactic empire on the verge of collapse. Perfect for fans of Ann Leckie and Arkady Martine.



'Vivid, violent and visceral: an impressive debut' Kate Elliott, author of Unconquerable Sun

**WINNER OF THE PHILIP K. DICK AWARD**
**SHORTLISTED FOR THE LOCUS AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL**

Jun Ironway, hacker, con artist, and only occasional thief, has got her hands on a piece of contraband that could set her up for life: evidence that implicates the powerful Nightfoot family in a planet-wide genocide seventy-five years ago. The Nightfoots control the precious sevite that fuels interplanetary travel through three star systems. And someone is sure to pay handsomely for anything that could break their hold.

Of course, anything valuable is also dangerous. The Kindom, the ruling power of the three star systems, is inextricably tied up in the Nightfoots' monopoly - and they can't afford to let Jun expose the truth. They task two of their most brutal clerics with hunting her down: preternaturally stoic Chono, and brilliant hothead Esek, who also happens to be the heir to the Nightfoot empire.

But Chono and Esek are haunted in turn by a figure from their shared past, known only as Six. What Six truly wants is anyone's guess. And the closer they get to finding Jun, the surer Chono is that Six is manipulating them all - and that they are heading for a bloody confrontation that no one will survive unscathed.

'One of the best SF books I've read. Period' Michael Mammay, author of Planetside
