When Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the heart of the Teixcalaanli Empire, a tiny but fiercely autonomous mining station, she finds out that her predecessor, the previous ambassador, has passed away. However, nobody would acknowledge that his passing wasn't an accident or that Mahit may be the next to pass away at this politically unstable moment in the imperial court's upper echelons.
Mahit now has to solve the murder, save herself, and stop Teixcalaan from expanding her Station. She also has to navigate an alien culture that is very alluring, get involved in her own intrigues, and conceal a deadly technological secret that could destroy her Station and her way of life or save it from destruction.
