When a Tangler escapes the Hollows for the first time in living memory, each clan must send a representative to help capture it-but the mission may be doomed and the hearts of two clan juniors may be in danger too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Vi?t Nhi is not good with people. Or politics. Which is a problem when the Rooster clan sends her on the mission against her will, forcing her to work with an ill-matched group of squabbling teammates from rival clans, including one who she can't avoid, and maybe doesn't want to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e H?c Cúc of the Snake clan has always been better at poisoning and stabbing than at making friends, but she's drawn to Nhi's perceptiveness and obliviousness to social conventions-including the ones that really should make Nhi think twice about spending time with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But when their imperial envoy and nominal leader is poisoned, this crew of expendable apprentices will have to learn to work together-fast-before the invisible Tangler can wreak havoc on a civilian city and destroy the fragile reputation of the clans. Along the way, Nhi and H?c Cúc will have to learn the hardest lesson of all: to see past their own misconceptions and learn to trust their growing feelings for each other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aliette de Bodard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64838476890461,"sku":"9781250324887","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/9358\/9341\/files\/9781250324887.jpg?v=1780055578","url":"https:\/\/adventureintobooks.co.uk\/products\/9781250324887","provider":"Adventure Into Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
