The Traitor Baru Cormorant

By Seth Dickinson
The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In Seth Dickinson's highly-anticipated debut The Traitor Baru Cormorant, a young woman from a conquered people tries to transform an empire in this richly imagined geopolitical fantasy.

Baru Cormorant believes any price is worth paying to liberate her people-even her soul.

When the Empire of Masks conquers her island home, overwrites her culture, criminalizes her customs, and murders one of her fathers, Baru vows to swallow her hate, join the Empire's civil service, and claw her way high enough to set her people free.

Sent as an Imperial agent to distant Aurdwynn, another conquered country, Baru discovers it's on the brink of rebellion. Drawn by the intriguing duchess Tain Hu into a circle of seditious dukes, Baru may be able to use her position to help. As she pursues a precarious balance between the rebels and a shadowy cabal within the Empire, she orchestrates a do-or-die gambit with freedom as the prize.

But the cost of winning the long game of saving her people may be far greater than Baru imagines.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Slightly Smiling Face“This gem is packed in geopolitics, "hormonal" characters but has few or almost non-existent naughty scene (which I love), accounting, money, and lots of map checking. If you enjoyed Art of War, George Orwell, and The Prince (Niccholo Machiavelli, no not the little prince that's crazy) but like written by Allison Bechdel, you'd probably smother this all over. Up to you, nobody's gonna judge who aren't masked. I stopped reading at a certain page for self-care, don't worry it's by the end of the book! I'll consider reading again once I'm done taking escitalopram. My tip for everybody else is, take advantage of the knowledge you don't know.. yet ☺️💖 Anyway, live laugh love I guess!!”
