Setting and characters in the second Long Price Quartet volume are different from those in A Shadow in Summer (2006). In Machi, the khai, or lord of the city, is dying. Tradition enjoins his sons to fight one another to the last man, who becomes khai. These sons are reluctant. When they start dying anyway, suspicion falls on Otah, who fled the court years ago and now, in a distant city, is feeling torn. He doesn't want to go home, but his father has ordered one of Otah's few known friends to get him back. Someone in the empire of the Galts is conspiring with someone in Machi to overthrow the latter's ruling house. The world Abraham has created, in which poets who control andats (magical beings composed of thought) constitute an elite in a once-great empire, remains fascinating, not least because there's more of the andats and more intrapolitical bickering here as well as a collection of characters who keep one turning pages.
