“Viciously original, beautifully written, and just heart-rending over and over again.”

There’s a monster coming. An empire with the answers to everything. It wants to conquer your home, your parents, and you.

You are seven years old. You are armed with your wits. No other weapon can be trusted.

Here is your solution: conquer the empire from the inside. Rule the world. Fix the course of history.

Begin.

Tor.com has posted Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of The Traitor Baru Cormorant.

If anyone’s interested, I may do a brief author’s commentary on these chapters. People love behind the scenes material!
