Thirty years ago threatened by an invading fleet from the Dai Viet Empire the Citadel disappeared and was never seen again. But now the Dai Viet Empire itself is under siege on the verge of a war against an enemy that turns their own mindships against them; and the Empress who once gave the order to raze the Citadel is in desperate needs of its weapons. Meanwhile on a small isolated space station an engineer obsessed with the past works on a machine that will send her thirty years back to the height of the Citadel's power. But the Citadel's disappearance still extends chains of grief and regrets all the way into the fraught atmosphere of the Imperial Court; and this casual summoning of the past might have world-shattering consequences... A new book set in the award-winning critically acclaimed Xuya universe.
