Unofficially, he's also a spy. As they both search for truth, they discover that the murderous riev, one of the battle-mecha decommissioned after the end of the last conflict and repurposed for manual labor - is just a weapon in the hands of a wielder with wider ambitions than homicide, including releasing horrors not seen since the war, that make a rampaging riev seem insignificant.

Instead she discovers a murder with an impossible suspect: a riev, one of the battle-mecha decommissioned after the end of the last conflict, repurposed for manual labor. Riev don't kill people. And yet, clearly, one has. Iari sets out to find it. <p/>THE SPY: Officially, Gaer is an ambassador from the vakari. Unofficially, he's also a spy, sending information back to his government, unfiltered by diplomatic channels. Unlike Iari, Gaer isn't so sure the riev's behavior is just a malfunction, since the riev were created using an unstable mixture of alchemy and arithmancy. <p/>As Gaer and Iari search for the truth, they discover that the murderous riev is just a weapon in the hands of a wielder with wider ambitions than homicide--including releasing horrors not seen since the war, that make a rampaging riev seem insignificant...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for K. Eason and the Rory Thorne universe</b> <p/>"Fun and feminist, <b>unique and stylish</b>, with a heroine who'll steal your heart. If fairy tales and space opera had a clever baby with a big vocabulary and a rebellious streak, this would be it." --Delilah S. Dawson, <i>New York Times-</i>bestselling author of <i>Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire</i> <p/>This is <b>big, imaginative space opera at its best</b>. Filled with complex characters and twisty politics, <i>Rory Thorne</i> is an awesome ride. --Michael Mammay, author of <i>Planetside <p/></i>Rory Thorne <b>raises the bar for self-rescuing princesses </b>everywhere. This clever fusion of unforgiving fairy tale and fanciful space opera destroyed me emotionally in all the best ways. --Curtis C. Chen, author of <i>Waypoint Kangaroo</i> <p/>Readers will be clamoring for the second installment before Chapter One is over. Told with just enough editorializing from a Dickensian narrator, this story delights from cover to cover. The political intrigue never fails to surprise, each character is layered and compelling, and there's a perfect balance between science-fiction action and fairy-tale fantasy. <b>Do not, under any circumstances, miss out on this</b>. --<i>Kirkus</i> (starred review) <p/>Eason adds a feminist modern twist to fairy tale and sf tropes while presenting an intergalactic adventure that enthralls in its own right, striking that ideal balance between original and familiar.... A delightful start to what promises to be <b>a smart, unique series</b>. --<i>Booklist</i> (starred review) <p/><b>Beautifully layered, endlessly entertaining</b>.... Using a mixture of hacking skills and hexes, political maneuvering, martial arts, and flirting, Rory manages to destroy the multiverse and control her own fate. How she gets there is a journey well worth the read. Exquisitely written with complex characters, sardonic wit, and immersive worldbuilding. Highly recommended. --<i>Library Journal</i> (starred review) <p/>Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and picture <b>outer space plus fairy tales plus political intrigue plus magic</b>. Whatever you're thinking of, <i>How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse </i>is all those things, but better. --Hey Alma <p/><b>Joyfully, delightfully amazing</b>.... Definitely one of my favorite books of the year thus far. --The Roarbots<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>K.
