In Seth Dickinson's highly expected debut The Traitor Baru Cormorant, a richly thought geopolitical fantasy, a girl from a conquered people attempts to enhance an empire. Baru Cormorant feels any price will probably be worth paying to liberate her people - even her heart and soul. Once 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 create her people free. Sent as an imperial agent to distant Aurdwynn, another conquered country, Baru discovers it's on the brink of rebellion. Attracted by the intriguing duchess Tain Hu into a group 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 reward. But the cost of being successful the long game of keeping her people may be far greater than Baru imagines.
