WINNER OF THE 2022 HUGO AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL"[An] all around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it."—Ann Leckie, on A Memory Called EmpireA Desolation Called Peace is the spectacular space opera sequel to Arkady Martine's genre-reinventing, Hugo Award-winning debut, A Memory Called Empire.An alien armada lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can communicate with it, no one can destroy it, and Fleet Captain Nine Hibiscus is running out of options. In a desperate attempt at diplomacy with the mysterious invaders, the fleet captain has sent for a diplomatic envoy. Now Mahit Dzmare and Three Seagrass—still reeling from the recent upheaval in the Empire—face the impossible task of trying to communicate with a hostile entity. Their failure will guarantee millions of deaths in an endless war. Their success might prevent Teixcalaan’s destruction—and allow the empire to continue its rapacious expansion. Or it might create something far stranger . . .At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

"Killer follow up to Arkady Martine's first book, A Memory Called Empire. Part space opera and part exploration of personhood that's set in a detailed, well-fleshed out world (with multiple civilizations, religions, languages, you name it). I read the first book in a day and read this one in two! Highly recommended!"
"This book was well-worth the slow burn. Arkady Martine does not disappoint. I am in awe. "
