Fifteen years after a war that decimated the poet population and left both sides stricken with infertility, the emperor of the Khaiem cities tries to form an alliance with his Galtic enemies, an effort that is complicated by a hidden poet's secret effort to train female poets.
Review:
"This is gripping, fantasy-tinged horror, and when the healing twist that Tolkien called the 'eucatastrophe' of a fairytale [comes]...it's a fine Aha moment of resolution: both unexpected and inevitable."
Review:"Deft storytelling will keep you turning pages to the end."

Otah Machi, now emperor of all the Khaiate cities, is fighting to build a future form the ruins, forging a new empire from the remnants of the two fallen and bitter enemies. But his old friend and enemy Maati Vaupathai - the last poet of the Khaiem - lives in exile, secretly working against Otah to create an andat that might restore the fallen cities to their lost glory, no matter the cost.
