About this listen
The Iskat Empire rules its vassal planets through a system of treaties—so when Prince Taam, key figure in a political alliance, is killed, a replacement must be found. His widower, Jainan, is rushed into an arranged marriage with the disreputable aristocrat Kiem, in a bid to keep rising hostilities between two worlds under control. But Prince Taam's death may not have been an accident, and when Jainan himself is a suspect, he and Kiem must navigate the perils of the Iskat court, solve a murder and prevent an interplanetary war....

"A chilling account of a dark past wrapped in the warm blanket of a promising future. A pleasure to read." (Ann Leckie)
"'Dazzling. Its characters stayed with me long after I raced through the last chapters." (Aliette de Boddard)
"High-pitched noises escaped me; I shouted, more than once, 'Now kiss!'...in a world so relentlessly uncertain, there's a powerfully simple pleasure in the experience of a promise kept." (The New York Times Book Review)

Loved it!
The storyline was intriguing, the world building was good but not great, the standout was the amazing characters and romance. I can see how it plays into some fanfiction tropes but in all the best ways. Loved it!
Enjoying her new novel Ocean’s Echo now.

A Brilliant New Voice
I'm excited to see how Maxwell's style and craft develops as they continue to write. As a debut novel, it was well executed. More romance with a sci-fi setting but managed to keep from turning self-indulgent. The world building raises interesting possibilities and I'm hoping to find out more soon.
