Publisher's Summary
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....

Critic Reviews
"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)

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.

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.
