The Traitor Baru Cormorant

Résumé : Baru Cormorant believes that any price is worth paying to save his people. Even his soul. When the Mask Empire conquers her native island, crushing its culture, criminalizing its customs and murdering one of her fathers, Baru decides to swallow her hatred and join the Empire, infiltrating it to the highest echelons and freeing her people.Sent as an imperial agent to distant Aurdwynn, another conquered country, Baru discovers that rebellion is brewing. Drawn into a circle of seditious dukes by the scheming Duchess Tain Hu, Baru could put her new position to good use. Between these rebels and a cabal spreading in the shadows at the heart of the empire, the price to be paid may well prove greater than she could ever have imagined.
