Description

In the twilight of their civilization, the Gzilt prepare for the ultimate ascension, a collective elevation to a new plane of existence. But as they ready themselves for this profound transformation, their Regimental High Command is annihilated, throwing their meticulously planned departure into chaos. A disgraced officer, Vyr Cossont, finds herself implicated and on the run, tasked with uncovering a truth that stretches back millennia and could jeopardize not only the Gzilt's final moments but the very fabric of the Culture itself. Aided by unlikely allies, she must race against time to find an ancient being who holds the key to a conspiracy that threatens to unravel everything.
