In Seth Dickinson's highly-anticipated debut The Traitor
Baru Cormorant, a young woman from a conquered people
tries to transform an empire in this richly imagined
geopolitical fantasy. Baru Cormorant believes any
price is worth paying to liberate her people-even her
soul. When the Empire of Masks conquers her island
home, overwrites her culture, criminalizes her customs, and
murders one of her fathers, Baru vows to swallow her hate,
join the Empire's civil service, and claw her way high
enough to set her people free. Sent as an Imperial
agent to distant Aurdwynn, another conquered country, Baru
discovers it's on the brink of rebellion. Drawn by the
intriguing duchess Tain Hu into a circle of seditious dukes,
Baru may be able to use her position to help. As she pursues
a precarious balance between the rebels and a shadowy cabal
within the Empire, she orchestrates a do-or-die gambit with
freedom as the prize. But the cost of winning the long
game of saving her people may be far greater than Baru
imagines.
