What this book is about
The second Traitor Spy Trilogy novel follows Lorkin deeper into Sachaka, where he must navigate dangerous political factions while Sonea and Cery track a traitor in Imardin. Canavan's fantasy continues the slower, political style of the trilogy opener — more intrigue than action, with the drug trade subplot deepening and the stakes rising toward a larger conflict.
