Beschreibung:

IN A WAR OF LIES SHE SEEKS THE TRUTH

Ambassador Mahit Dzmare travels to the capital of the Teixcalaanli Empire, eager to take up her new post. Yet when she arrives, she discovers her predecessor was murdered. But no one will admit his death wasn't accidental - and she might be next.

Now Mahit must navigate the capital's enticing yet deadly halls of power, while hunting the killer. She must also prevent the rapacious Empire from annexing her home, a small, fiercely independent mining station. As she sinks deeper into this seductive yet alien culture, 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.
