Beschreibung
Long ago, the sky rained down rocks and fire, and the old empire could not withstand the onslaught. The countries that broke free from its oppressive hegemony must now establish a new world order. Two people in particular see this process in its wider context. In the winter palace, the king’s new doctor has more enemies than she first realises, though her opponents do not know that her arsenal contains more than medicines. In another palace beyond the mountains, the chief bodyguard of the protector who employs a regicide also has enemies, but they can strike much faster, and he fights them with more traditional means. This Czech-language novel tells two stories. Both move towards a dramatic climax, both are connected more closely than the protagonists realise, and both share deception, love and betrayal. It is the fifth novel in Iain M. Banks’s Culture series.
