Description
The Scattered Pearls Belt is a string of habitats under tight military rule, where the powerful have become all too comfortable in their positions and their corruption. But change is coming, with the arrival of Quynh: the mysterious and enigmatic Alchemist of Streams and Hills.
To Minh, daughter of the ruling prefect of the Belt, Quynh represents a chance for escape. To Hoa, a destitute engineer, Quynh has a mysterious link to her own past and holds a deeper, more sensual appeal. But Quynh has her own secret history, and a plan for the ruling class of the Belt. A plan that will tear open old wounds, shake the heavens, and may well consume her.
A beautiful exploration of the power of love, of revenge, and of the wounds of the past, this fast-paced, heart-warming space opera is set against a backdrop of corruption, power, and political scheming in the far reaches of the award-winning Xuya universe.
A Fire Born of Exile by Aliette de Bodard delivers an immersive narrative full of intrigue and emotion.
