Description
In the Vanishers' Palace by Aliette de Bodard is a dark retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in a ruined world where the earth is poisoned and beings of nightmares roam. A woman, betrayed and sold into indenture, finds herself bound to a dragon who is desperate to make a difference. The dragon's home, a vast palace-prison, holds secrets that threaten to destroy any hope of happiness. As the days pass, the woman comes to see her master in a different light, but will she be able to navigate the treacherous world and decide where her own happiness lies? A complex web of relationships and dark revelations unfolds, set against a richly drawn and nuanced backdrop of a devastated world.
