Beschreibung
Her world was shattered by the Empire of Masks.
For the power to shatter the Masquerade,
She betrayed everyone she loved.
The traitor Baru Cormorant is now the cryptarch Agonist―a secret lord of the empire she's vowed to destroy.
Hunted by a mutinous admiral, haunted by the wound which has split her mind in two, Baru leads her dearest foes on an expedition for the secret of immortality. It's her chance to trigger a war that will consume the Masquerade.
But Baru's heart is broken, and she fears she can no longer tell justice from revenge...or her own desires from the will of the man who remade her.

Amazingly captivating fantasy series!
Well researched fantasy that is often closer to the truth of the colonialist empires of our past that one would like to admit. Seth Dickonsons worldbuilding ideas are just delicious from the marines of the masquerade to the cancrioth (which is just the coolest concept I have read about in years). The cultural space of the ashen sea seams plausible and fluid with cultures intermingled and fluid. This is a refreshing contrast to „classical“ fantasy world were culture and heritage are often monolithic and unchanging over centuries. Together with the broken earth trilogy this is one of the best fantasy series of the new century.
