Diplomat Bren Cameron, the only human allowed in atevi lands, and Ilisidi, the aiji-dowager, continue on their mission to form an alliance with the southern regions in the latest in Cherryh's long-running Foreigner saga. This entry melds Bren's point of view as a foreigner with Ilisidi's great-grandson Cajeiri's youthful perspective to explain the levels of intrigue and expectations of atevi society. Protected by the Assassins' Guild, Ilisidi and Bren had finished negotiations with Lords Bregani and Machigi, when an assassination attempt, presumably by the outlawed Shado Guild, was thwarted. Intent on proving the strength of their alliance, Ilisidi and Bren accompany Bregani back to his home in Senjin, while assuring themselves and others of the loyalty of both Machigi and Nomari, the candidate for lord of Ajuri who has Cajeiri's, but not yet Ilisidi's, approval. Meanwhile in Sheijidan, Cajeiri worries as reports of additional assassination plans and unrest in and around Senjin filter in, searching for ways to assist while fulfilling his role as his father's heir. This riveting story is another page-turner from Cherryh.
