Présentation
Mahit Dzmare arrives as the new ambassador from a small mining station to the dazzling, devouring heart of the Teixcalaanli Empire — only to discover her predecessor is dead, probably murdered, and that the implant carrying his memories is failing. Winner of the 2020 Hugo Award, Arkady Martine's novel is a glittering blend of political thriller, palace intrigue and meditation on cultural assimilation. Lush, clever and propulsive, it's space opera for readers who love courts, conspiracies and the ache of loving an empire that would erase you.
