Description
A remote world at the edge of the Imperial Radch—Ooioiaa—faces a tightening spiral of hunger, unrest, and a crippling communication blackout, even as its people cling to the hope of the Radiant Star. When the Radch make a final, tightly controlled concession—allowing one “living saint” to join the mummified bodies in the temporal location—three lives collide with the planet’s competing faiths and rigid social structures. A religious savant wrestles with visions that may be destiny or manipulation, a socialite discovers that comfort can be revoked overnight, and a young man sold into servitude searches for an escape route no one believes exists. Blending sharp political insight with luminous character-driven science fiction, this standalone return to the Imperial Radch universe explores belief, identity, and power—hallmarks of Ann Leckie’s award-winning style.
