When Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the heart of the sprawling Teixcalaanli Empire, she finds more than political theater—she finds a murder.
Her predecessor is dead under suspicious circumstances, and Mahit might be next. Armed only with an outdated memory imprint and an outsider’s understanding of imperial culture, she must uncover the truth before the empire absorbs her Station—or erases it entirely.
But in a court of poets, spies, and secrets, nothing is simple. Especially not when your own mind holds dangerous technology… and possibly a second consciousness.
Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, A Memory Called Empire is a dazzling space opera of identity, empire, and survival. If Mahit can’t outwit the court, her home may vanish without a trace.
