The Traitor Synopsis
[Published as The Traitor Baru Cormorant in the US]. Drawn by the intriguing duchess Tain Hu into a circle of seditious aristocrats, Baru may be able to use her position to stoke a revolution that will threaten to bring the Empire to its knees. As Baru maintains a precarious balance between the rebels and a shadowy cabal within the Empire, she orchestrates a do-or-die gambit with Aurdwynn's freedom as the prize. But winning the long game of saving her own people may be far more costly than Baru imagines.

Seth Dickinson Press Reviews
'Smart. Brutal. Gut-wrenching. You'll be captivated from the very first page. Dickinson is a sly, masterful writer who pulls no punches. Get ready to have your heart ripped out through your throat. Highly recommended.' KAMERON HURLEY, author of The Mirror Empire
'Seth Dickinson skillfully combines intrigue, action, and philosophical musings to create a suspenseful and deeply satisfying read. An intelligent and accomplished first novel reminiscent of Le Guin in its reflections on imperialism, colonialism, and the attractions and corruptions of power.' UNA MCCORMACK, New York Times bestselling author of The Crimson Shadow
'Not many books have me literally flailing with delight. [The Traitor...] did. Fascinating characters, a world imagined with wonderful depth, and storytelling that succeeds on both an epic and a powerfully intimate scale. This is really something special.' SUNNY MORAINE, co-author of Life and Orbit
'A beautiful, perfectly formed crystal of a novel borne out of a tight plot mated with elegant language.' JOHN CHU, Hugo award-winning author of The Water That Falls on You
