As the new ambassador to the Teixcalaan empire from the fiercely independent Lsel space station, Mahit navigates this alien culture that uses poetry and literary allusion as propaganda. She relies on her studies, an assigned assistant, and a chip imbedded in her with the distant memory and responses of the previous ambassador - who she discovers had died. This award-winning debut (Teixcalaan, Book 1) weaves personalities, politics, and humor into an SF mystery adventure where Mahit discovers what really happened to the former ambassador and tries to save Lsel from being absorbed by the empire.
