An epic, romantic dystopian fantasy begins in Seek the Traitor's Son, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth
Elegy Ahn did not ask for destiny to find her.
She is happy with her life as a soldier, defending her small country from the Talusar, a powerful nation who worships a deadly Fever. A fever that blesses half of its victims with mysterious gifts.
But then she's summoned to hear a prophecy-her, and the most ruthless of Talusar generals, Rava Vidar. Brought face to face, they learn that one of them will lead their people to victory over the other...but they don't know which. And at the center of both of their fates: a man. A man that, Elegy is told, she will fall in love with.
In just one day, Elegy's old life-her job, her purpose, and her future-is over. She and Rava are destined to collide, with the fate of their nations hanging in the balance. And when they do, only one will be left standing.
Elegy intends to make sure it's her.

It's epic, it's sci-fi, it's dystopian. It's my kinda book. The worldbuilding in Seek the Traitor's Son is highly complex with knights, space stations, advanced technology, and a mysterious prophecy that ties it all together. It’s a lot to take in, but Roth makes it work, creating a world that’s as intriguing as it is expansive. At the center of the both the plot in the in-world worship is "the Fever", a ritual forced upon those coming of age. It will either kill them or bring them unique powers. I particularly loved how the romance subplot only simmered beneath the surface without overshadowing the main plot. It was there and it was meaningful, but it didn’t steal the show. And I loved that there is queer rep! The characters are extremely interesting, with their own motivations, secrets, and moral ambiguities. Elegy Ahn, the protagonist, is a standout. She's tough and determined. The supporting cast is great as well. No notes there. Now, I’ll admit, I’m getting a bit tired of the prophecy trope lately, especially knowing that nothing is as it seems. But then again, a bit of mystery of how things will play out also keeps me interested. I loved the audio narration very much, putting me right into the center of things and keeping everything highly immersive. 4/5 stars Thank you to @NetGalley and @macmillan.audio for the eARC! #SeekTheTraitorsSon #Bookstagram #NetGalley
