5.0

Lady Chetta and her (not yet dead) husband Azariel are on the water world of Ardemis for an annual social engagement, rubbing shoulders with other Navigators and nobility whilst simultaneously maneuvering for political gain. It’s an action-light and dialogue-heavy story, digging into Chetta’s relationship with her husband, her peers and fellow Navigators, and the servants in her orbit, while some ferocious scoldings allow Brooks to demonstrate just how little time Chetta has for the nonsense of others. If you like your 40k full of political power-plays, razor-sharp dialogue and brilliantly observed reflections of the real world, this is for you.
